Writeup from MB 106:

Northwest Africa 11033 (NWA 11033)

(Northwest Africa)

Purchased: 2016 Jun

Classification: HED achondrite (Diogenite, polymict)

History: Purchased by Fabien Kuntz in June 2016 from a dealer in Zagora, Morocco.

Petrography: (A. Irving and S. Kuehner, UWS) Breccia composed of >90 vol.% angular diogenitic orthopyroxene clasts along with subordinate exsolved pigeonite, calcic plagioclase, olivine, silica polymorph and chromite in a finer grained matrix containing the same minerals plus troilite and Ni-free metal. Sparse eucritic clasts composed of intergrown low-Ca pyroxene, high-Ca pyroxene and calcic plagioclase are present.

Geochemistry: Diogenitic orthopyroxene (Fs23.7-23.8Wo2.0-1.8, FeO/MnO = 27-29, N = 3), orthopyroxene host (Fs29.5Wo1.6, FeO/MnO = 25), clionopyroxene exsolution lamella (Fs16.6Wo41.7, FeO/MnO = 20), low-Ca pyroxene in intergrowth (Fs58.4Wo5.5, FeO/MnO = 25), high-Ca pyroxene in intergrowth (Fs27.8Wo41.9, FeO/MnO = 26), olivine (Fa37.6-37.9, FeO/MnO = 46-47, N = 2), plagioclase (An89.8Or0.6; An93.4Or0.2).

Classification: Diogenite (polymict breccia).

Specimens: 9.49 g including one polished thin section at PSF; remainder with Kuntz.
