Writeup from MB 104:
Uruq al Hadd 008 (UaH 008) 18°11.895’N, 52°47.882’E Zufar, Oman Find: 7 Feb 2014 Classification: Carbonaceous chondrite (CV3) History: Found by Edwin Gnos, Beda Hofmann, Thomas Burri, and Marianna Mészáros during a search for meteorites on February 7, 2014. Physical characteristics: Single stone of 663.5 g, the fusion crust is partially preserved. Petrography: (B. Hofmann, NMBE and E. Gnos, MHNGE) Homogeneous chondritic texture with common CAIs . Mean apparent chondrule size is 1.05±0.61 mm (max. 6 mm) (n=69). Matrix abundance is 32%, CAIs ~15%. Troilite and mostly weathered iron metal are more abundant than magnetite. Silicates show strong undulous extinction. Geochemistry: (N. Greber, Bern) Olivine compositions are Fa29.8±21.0 (Fa0.4-54.9, n=16). Low-Ca pyroxene is Fs3.0±1.5 Wo2.5±1.1 (Fs1.0-4.6Wo0.9-3.6, n=6). Oxygen isotopes (R. Greenwood, OU): δ18O=0.45?, δ17O=-4.21 Δ17O=-4.44. Classification: Based on mineral compositions, oxygen isotopes and matrix/chondrule ratio this is a CV3 carbonaceous chondrite (CV3-red subgroup). Shock grade S2. The degree of weathering is low.
