Jiddat al Harasis 422 19°50.357′N, 56°28.762′E Oman Find: 3 March 2007 Achondrite (ureilite impact melt breccia with dunite clasts) History: A single stone was found during a search for meteorites by M. Eggimann, E. Gnos, E. Janots, B. Hofmann, L. Huber and F. Zurfluh. Physical characteristics: Rounded reddish-brown single stone with a mass of 61.48 g, no fusion crust preserved, wind polished surface. Heterogeneous surface with protruding clasts. Petrography (E. Janots, IMM E. Gnos, MHNGE; B. Hofmann, NMBE): The rock is a dimict breccia and shows a thorough fine-grained, equigranular recrystallization/reequilibration texture of clasts and matrix. Dunite clasts (~50%) are up to 14 mm long, nearly free of carbon platelets, secondary iron hydroxides and large pores. The dunite clasts consist of nearly pure, homogeneous olivine (Fa19–21) with triple joints. The groundmass, ~50% of the stone, consists of olivine (Fa10–17), orthopyroxene (Fs9–12Wo0.5–5,0) and augite (Fs9–12Wo20–35), abundant carbon platelets (up to 1 mm) consisting of graphite and diamond and Fe-oxyhydroxides. At the contact with pores and carbon/Fe-hydroxides, olivine and pyroxene show a narrow reduction rim depleted in Fe. The groundmass contains numerous pores up to 1 mm in size, partially filled with secondary bassanite (based on Raman spectroscopy). The groundmass is interpreted as ureilite impact melt with residual carbon phases. Geochemistry: Oxygen isotopes (I. A. Franchi and R. C. Greenwood, OU) of dunite clast δ17O = 2.87, δ18O = 7.57, and Δ17O = −1.07 (mean of two replicates). Oxygen isotopes of matrix: δ17O = 3.31, δ18O = 8.31, and Δ17O = −1.00 (mean of two replicates) (Δ17O= δ17O-0.52 δ18O). Both, clast and matrix analyses plot within the ureilite field. Classification: Ureilite (impact melt breccia with dunite clasts) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
