Writeup from MB 102:

Northwest Africa 7024 (NWA 7024)

(Northwest Africa)

Purchased: 2011 Apr

Classification: Ordinary chondrite (H7)

History: Purchased by Stefan Ralew from a dealer in Erfoud, Morocco, in 2011 April.

Petrography: (A. Irving and S. Kuehner, UWS) Metamorphic texture with triple grain junctions among olivine, orthopyroxene, sodic plagioclase, altered kamacite, chromite and troilite. No clinopyroxene or phosphates were found.

Geochemistry: Olivine (Fa17.9-18.0), orthopyroxene (Fs16.0±0.0Wo3.0-3.2). Oxygen isotopes (R. Tanaka, OkaU): analyses of acid-washed subsamples by laser fluorination gave δ17O 2.796, 2.874; δ18O 4.191, 4.294; Δ17O 0.588, 0.612 per mil.

Classification: Ordinary chondrite H7. This specimen has affinities with H chondrites, but recrystallization has been so extensive that all minerals have triple grain junctions.

Specimens: 16 g of type material and one polished thin section are on deposit at UWB. The remaining material is held by Ralew.
