George V Land is a segment of Antarctica part of the land claimed as part of the Australian Antarctic Territory, inland from the George V Coast. As with other segments of Antarctica, it is defined by two lines of longitude, 142°02' E and 153°45' E, and by the 60°S parallel.
This region was first explored by members of the Main Base party of the Australasian Antarctic Expedition (1911–14) under Douglas Mawson, who named this feature for King George V of Australia.

Alphabetical List Tree DiagramDetailed Mineral List:
ⓘ Chromite Formula: Fe2+Cr3+2O4 Description: Chromite-rich chondrules present. Reference: Ramdohr, P. (1967) Chromite and chromite chondrules in meteorites—I : Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta 31(10): 1961-1967. (Oct 1967). |
ⓘ Copper Formula: Cu Reference: Ramdohr, P. (1967) Chromite and chromite chondrules in meteorites—I : Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta 31(10): 1961-1967. (Oct 1967). |
ⓘ 'Fayalite-Forsterite Series' Description: Olivine composition (Fa24) characteristic of L chondrite chemical group [Mason,1963]. Reference: Mason, B. (1963) Olivine in ordinary chondrites. Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta 27(9): 1011-1023. (Sept 1963).; Graham, A. L., Bevan, A. W. R. & Hutchison, B. (1985) Catalogue of Meteorites (4/e). University of Arizona Press: Tucson. |
ⓘ 'Glass' Description: Present in some chondrules. Reference: Ramdohr, P. (1967) Chromite and chromite chondrules in meteorites—I : Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta 31(10): 1961-1967. (Oct 1967). |
ⓘ Ilmenite Formula: Fe2+TiO3 Reference: Ramdohr, P. (1967) Chromite and chromite chondrules in meteorites—I : Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta 31(10): 1961-1967. (Oct 1967). |
ⓘ Iron Formula: Fe Reference: Ramdohr, P. (1967) Chromite and chromite chondrules in meteorites—I : Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta 31(10): 1961-1967. (Oct 1967). |
ⓘ Iron var. Kamacite Formula: (Fe,Ni) Reference: Ramdohr, P. (1967) Chromite and chromite chondrules in meteorites—I : Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta 31(10): 1961-1967. (Oct 1967). |
ⓘ Isocubanite Formula: CuFe2S3 Description: Textural considerations presumably suggested to Ramdohr that the isocubanite was primary (preterrestrial). However, confirmation from isotopic studies seems needed before confidence in this conclusion would be warranted. Reference: Ramdohr, P. (1967) Chromite and chromite chondrules in meteorites—I : Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta 31(10): 1961-1967. (Oct 1967). |

ⓘ 'Plagioclase' Formula: (Na,Ca)[(Si,Al)AlSi2]O8 Reference: Ramdohr, P. (1967) Chromite and chromite chondrules in meteorites—I : Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta 31(10): 1961-1967. (Oct 1967). |
ⓘ Taenite Formula: (Fe,Ni) Reference: Ramdohr, P. (1967) Chromite and chromite chondrules in meteorites—I : Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta 31(10): 1961-1967. (Oct 1967). |
ⓘ Troilite Formula: FeS Reference: Ramdohr, P. (1967) Chromite and chromite chondrules in meteorites—I : Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta 31(10): 1961-1967. (Oct 1967). |
