Jiddat al Harasis 089

Oman

Found 2002, January 13

Ordinary L chondrite (annealed impact melt breccia)

A stone weighing 170.69 g with a black fusion crust was found in the Jiddat al Harasis area. Finding, classification and mineralogy (E. Gnos, UBE; B. Hofmann, NMBE; A. Al-Kathiri, UBE): The stone is a completely molten and recrystallized chondrite containing ~ 6% oriented vesicles. The shape of some completely recrystallized chondrules is still recognizable. Minerals crystallized from the melt are olivine Fa23.8-26.5, low-Ca pyroxene Fs18.8-20.6Wo2.3-6.9, and plagioclase An0.3-20.1. Metal-sulphide grains occur as droplets with metal in the core, and sulphide along the rim. Idiomorphic shaped spinel grains also contain inclusion droplets. Oxygen isotope composition (I.A. Franchi and R.C. Greenwood, OU); average of 2 analyses: δ17O = +3.78‰, δ18O = +5.17‰, and Δ17O = +1.09‰). Preserved post melt crystallisation shock stage is S3-4, weathering grade W3.  Entire specimen NMBE.
