Writeup from MB 105:

Northwest Africa 11035 (NWA 11035)

(Northwest Africa)

Purchased: 2001

Classification: Ordinary chondrite (LL6)

History: One stone weighing 48.3 g was found in Morocco in 2001. David Holden acquired the sample from a meteorite prospector in Erfoud 2001.

Physical characteristics: The oriented sample is dark brown, has a rounded ovoid shape and a weathered fusion crust with a well defined rollover lip. The cut face of the interior is also dark brown and shows weathered flakes of metal.

Petrography: Description and classification (A. Love, App): Sample is heavily recrystallized. All relict chondrules are droplet varieties of RP and BO. Chondrules are and have an avg. dia. of 806 μm, n=16. Sample is transected by ringwoodite-bearing opaque shock veins. All secondary plagioclase and mesostasis phases have been transformed into isotropic glass.

Geochemistry: (A. Love, App) Olivine Fa28.3±0.1, N=6; Low Ca pyroxene Fs24.0±0.3Wo2.0±0.2, N=6.

Classification: Ordinary Chondrite (LL6, S6, W3)

Specimens: David Holden holds the main mass. Two slices weighing 10.5 g and one polished thin section are on deposit at App.
