Dar al Gani 1060 (DaG 1060) 26°55.17N, 16°39.42E Al Jufrah, Libya Found: 2010 Classification: HED achondrite (Eucrite) History: Found during an expedition for meteorite recovery. Physical characteristics: Whole sample with complete crust. Petrography: (V. Moggi Cecchi, G. Pratesi, S. Caporali, MSP); The thin sectin displays a brecciated eucritic texture consisting of medium-grained equigranular clasts, ranging from 1 to 8 mm in length, set in a fine-grained matrix. Medium-grained clasts dominated by plagioclase and clinopyroxene, with minor orthopyroxene. Exsolution lamellae (1 to 3 μm in width) can be distinguished in several pyroxene grains. No olivine grains have been found, while rare silica grains have been observed. Opaque phases are represented by ilmenite and ulvöspinel. Geochemistry: Low-Ca pyroxene Fs61.43Wo3.0; Plagioclase (An87.4Or0.4), augite (Fs31.6En31.7Wo37.7); pigeonite (Fs53.2En34.6Wo12.3); Oxygen isotopes: (I. Franchi, R. Greenwood, OU) δ17O = 1.85, δ18O = 4.00, Δ17O = 1.023 per mil Classification: Achondrite, polymict eucrite Specimens: A total of 20.15 g and one thin section are on deposit at MSP (MSP 5197). The main mass is in deposit at OAM. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
