Catalina 008 25°14’S, 69°43’W Antofagasta, Chile Found: 2011 Jul 3 Classification: Carbonaceous chondrite (CO3) History: The meteorite was found by R. Martinez in the Atacama Desert. Physical characteristics: A single partially crusted dark stone Petrography: (J. Gattacceca, CEREGE) Abundant chondrules (40% vol), predominantly type I in a dark matrix (58% vol). Olivine in type I chondrules are zoned. CAIs up to 500 μm. Chondrule size ranges from a <100 μm up to 1 mm, with an average 190±120 μm (N=63). Geochemistry: Olivine in the range Fa0.3-Fa34.4 (mean Fa19.1±13.5, PMD=65%, N=17). Low-Ca pyroxene Fs2.9±1.0 Wo5.5±1.1.6. Cr2O3 in ferroan olivine is 0.16±0.14 wt% (N=14). Magnetic susceptibility log χ = 4.05 (χ in 10-9 m3/kg). Oxygen isotopic composition (J. Gattacceca, C. Sonzogni, CEREGE) is δ17O = -6.55, δ18O = -3.30, and Δ17O = -4.84 per mil (analysis of one acid-washed 1.5 mg bulk sample). Classification: Carbonaceous chondrite (CO3). Moderate weathering Specimens: 20 g and one polished section are on deposit at CEREGE. Main mass, MMC. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
