Writeup from MB 101:

Northwest Africa 7314 (NWA 7314)

(Northwest Africa)

Purchased: 2012 Feb

Classification: Ordinary chondrite (LL6)

Petrography: Purchased by F. Kuntz in February 2012 from a dealer in Erfoud, Morocco. Coarse breccia composed predominantly of recrystallized clasts containing some remnants of large chondrules. Olivine (Fa32.2-32.4), orthopyroxene (Fs25.0-25.4Wo2.0). Ordinary chondrite (LL6). This specimen is very similar in texture and freshness to the dominant lithology in NWA 7313, but the differences in mafic silicate compositions appear to preclude the possibly that it is a paired stone.
