Writeup from MB 104:
Kerman 003 30° 26.80’N, 58° 27.00’E Kerman, Iran Find: 2014 Aug 07 Classification: Ordinary chondrite (L5) History: A single stone was found during an expedition in the Lut desert in August 2014, in a corridor within the Kalout formation (Chale-h Gachi). The stone was given to Hamed Pourkhorsandi at Tehran on 2014 Nov 10 and the type specimen cut at CEREGE. Physical characteristics: An angular brown rock without fusion crust. The shape suggests that it has been fragmented during atmospheric entry and that it was a part of a larger meteorite. Magnetic susceptibility log χ =4.52 (χ in 10-9 m3/kg). Petrography: Petrographic observation of a polished section shows chondrules in a recryztallized matrix. Most of the FeNi grains have been weathered to Fe oxy-hydroxides. Some myrmekitic oxide fillings within FeNi metal grains are present. Troilite is mostly fresh although some troilite alteration to pyrite/marcasite occurs. Plagioclase is smaller than 50 μm. Geochemistry: Olivine Fa25.3±0.2 (N=4), low-Ca pyroxene Fs22.0±0.2Wo1.9±0.7 (N=4). Classification: Ordinary chondrite (L5) Specimens: Type specimen (25.5 g) and a polished section at CEREGE. Main mass with Bahman Izadi (Fars Green Center, Iran) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
