NWA 725: reclassification
(E. Jacquet, MNHNP) NWA 725 was originally classified as an acapulcoite on the basis of its reduced mineral chemistry (Fa6.1, Fs7.5). However, O isotope measurements of Greenwood et al. (2012) (see e.g. their Fig. 9) plot in the field of winonaites. The mineral chemistry, by itself, was ambiguous (i.e. lying in the overlap between acapulcoites and winonaites) as recognized by Keil and McCoy (2018) (see their Fig. 4), who excluded NWA 725 from their review of acapulcoites and lodranites. Becayse there seems to be a consensus on the matter (e.g. Zeng et al. 2019), NWA 725 should be reclassified as a winonaite (and an interestingly chondritic one at that). | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
