Writeup from MB 104:

Jiddat al Harasis 805 (JaH 805)        19.588°N, 55.131°E

Zufar, Oman

Find: 2011 Feb

Classification: Ordinary chondrite (L(H)3)

History: Found by an anonymous prospector in February 2011.

Petrography: (A. Irving and S. Kuehner, UWS) Unequilibrated chondrite composed of well-formed, small to medium-sized chondrules (mostly 0.3-0.8 mm; some up to 1.1 mm) in a dark brown, highly altered matrix.

Geochemistry: Olivine (Fa12.6-34.2), orthopyroxene (Fs7.7-15.7Wo0.8-1.9), clinopyroxene (Fs7.1-7.6Wo41.5-38.6). Oxygen isotopes (K. Ziegler, UNM) Analysis of an acid-washed subsample by laser fluorination gave δ17O 3.448; δ18O 5.637; Δ17O 0.472 per mil.

Classification: Ordinary chondrite L(H)3. Oxygen isotopes plot in the L chondrites field, but an H affinity is suggested by the relatively small chondrule size, abundance of (altered) metal and the low maximum Fs content in orthopyroxene.

Specimens: Type specimen plus one polished thin section at PSF; main mass with anonymous collector.
