Summary: A re-examination of twelve specimens of the Gibeon meteorite has established that the meteorite is basically an octahedrite but has, in several irons of the meteorite, lamellae of kamacite of early origin parallel to the cube. Lamellae containing daubréelite, predating twinning and kamacite exsolution, are common parallel to the cube and rare parallel to the octahedron. A survey of other features failed to suggest any definitely correlated with the anomalous kamacite lamellae.
