Writeup from MB 102:

Northwest Africa 7193 (NWA 7193)

(Northwest Africa)

Purchased: 2012 Jan

Classification: HED achondrite (Eucrite, anomalous)

History: Purchased by GHupé in 2012 January from a Moroccan dealer at the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show.

Petrography: Fresh clast-rich breccia consisting of large clasts of medium-grained, ophitic to intersertal diabasic eucrite within a very sparse fragmental matrix. The clasts are composed of prismatic, complexly-zoned pyroxene, calcic plagioclase laths, fayalitic olivine, ilmenite, iron sulfide, Ni-free metal and regions of dark mesostasis.

Geochemistry: Orthopyroxene cores (Fs_29.0Wo_4.6; FeO/MnO = 28), pigeonite (Fs_32.5Wo_6.2; FeO/MnO = 31); subcalcic augite (Fs_56.7Wo_30.9; FeO/MnO = 32) with ferroan pigeonite rims (Fs_53.1Wo_18.1; FeO/MnO = 29); olivine (Fa_81.4; FeO/MnO = 42). Oxygen isotopes (R. Tanaka, OkaU): analyses of acid-washed subsamples by laser fluorination gave δ¹⁷O 1.78, 1.84; δ¹⁸O 3.81, 3.81; Δ¹⁷O -0.228, -0.163 per mil.

Classification: Basaltic eucrite (anomalous). This specimen is unusual because of its diabasic texture and complexly-zoned pyroxenes.
