Writeup from MB 102:

Northwest Africa 7573 (NWA 7573)

(Northwest Africa)

Purchased: 2012

Classification: Carbonaceous chondrite (CK3)

Petrography: Clearly discernible chondrules and abundant irregularly shaped CAIs set in a greenish-grayish groundmass. Chondrules often contain clear glass. Magnetite is dispersed in the fine-grained matrix and metal is virtually absent. Opaque phases dominated by Cr-rich magnetite. FeS uncommon. CAIs less abundant that in CV3 chondrites and also a high matrix/chondrule ratio argues for CK.
