Jiddat al Harasis 804 (JaH 804) 19.829°N, 56.482°E Al Wusta, Oman Found: 2013 Jan Classification: HED achondrite (Eucrite) History: Found by a meteorite prospector in January 2013. Petrography: (A. Irving, UWS; A. Wittmann, WUSL) Igneous texture with larger (>1 mm) grains of exsolved pigeonite and calcic plagioclase plus interstitial groundmass regions rich in finer plagioclase laths and vesicular glass. Plagioclase contains numerous blebs of troilite, and pigeonite consists of patchy zones of recrystallized Ca-rich and Ca-poor pyroxene. Some clinopyroxene and plagioclase occurs as symplectitic intergrowths. Other accessory phases are ilmenite, Ti-rich chromite, Ti-poor chromite, silica polymorph, and a single Ni-free Fe-metal grain. Secondary celestite and strontiobarite (crystals ~10 μm in size) are quite common. Geochemistry: (S. Kuehner, UWS; A. Wittmann, WUSL): Orthopyroxene (En55.2-57.8Wo5.9-3.1, FeO/MnO = 32), clinopyroxene (Fs27.0-27.6Wo41.7-41.0, FeO/MnO = 31-34), plagioclase (An86-91Or0.4-0.5). Oxygen isotopes (K. Ziegler, UNM): analyses of acid-washed subsamples by laser fluorination gave (in per mil) δ17O 1.561, 1.613; δ18O 3.473, 3.501; Δ17O -0.273, -0.236 (for a TFL slope of 0.528). Classification: Eucrite. This specimen is unusual because it has a vesicular groundmass, yet its oxygen isotopic composition is similar to those of most eucrites. Specimens: 24 g including one polished thin section at UWB. The remaining material is held by the anonymous finder. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
