Writeup from AMN 39(1): LAR 06507, reclassification
LAR 06507 was classified as an LL impact melt breccia in the Antarctic Meteorite Newsletter vol. 33 No. 1 (February 2010). More detailed information has led to a better understanding of this sample, which we here re-classify to shocked CK6 chondrite, based on a) the abundance of magnetite, the near absence of metal, equilibrated olivine fayalite content of 31±3, and Ni-rich olivine.
