Writeup from MB 104:
Coyote Dry Lake 334 (CyDL 334) 35°4.136’N, 116°45.134’W California, USA Find: 2013 Dec 06 Classification: Ordinary chondrite (LL3) History: Found by April Ables while walking with her family on a dry lake. They were searching for meteorites. Physical characteristics: Round-shaped stone; distinct chondrules visible on weathered exterior. Petrography: Very little metallic Fe-Ni is present, consistent with an LL classification. The average chondrule size is 500-600 μm, consistent with LL. Geochemistry: The kamacite Co content is 1.8 wt.% (n=1), consistent with LL. Low-Ca pyroxene grains exhibit abundant polysynthetic twins, consistent with type 3. The Cr2O3 content of ferroan olivine grains is 0.05±0.08 (n=16), consistent with type ~3.2. No clear, isotropic glass is present in the chondrules, consistent with type ~3.5. The heterogeneity of the olivine is appreciably greater than that of H3.8 Dhajala, suggesting type <3.8. These data suggest type 3.6-3.7. Classification: An ordinary chondrite from the LL group that is petrologic type 3.6 to 3.7 Specimens: 2.87 g type specimen at UCLA; main mass with Verish. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
