abstract = "Observations of Ultra-Heavy galactic cosmic rays (GCR) help to distinguish the possible origins of GCRs. The Trans-Iron Galactic Recorder (TIGER) is designed to measure the charge (Z)an d energy of GCRs using a combination of scintillation counters, Cherenkov counters, and a scintillating fiber hodoscope. TIGER has accumulated data on two successful flights from McMurdo, Antarctica: the first launched in December of 2001 with a total flight duration of 31.8 days and the second in December of 2003 with a total flight duration of 18 days. The two flights of TIGER achieved sufficient statistics and charge resolution to resolve -140 particles with Z > 30, and have provided the best measurements to date for Zn, Ga, Ge, and Se. We present a preliminary analysis of the combined data from both flights for Ultra-Heavy GCRs and discuss the results in the context of different GCR source models.",
