Writeup from MN J19:

Yamato 981247 (Y 981247)

Antarctica

Found: 1998

Classification: HED achondrite (Diogenite)

Petrography: The section shows a very fine grained (20-100 μm) of laths and wedges of orthopyroxene whose longer axis are broadly aligned. Minute (a few μm) grains of Fe metals and troilite occur.

Geochemistry: Pyroxene compositions are En71-76Wo2 (FeO/MnO ~30).

Classification: The similar unusual textures and mineral chemistry indicate that Y981247 and Y981582 are paired. These meteorites are diogenites.
