Writeup from MB 106:

Northwest Africa 11191 (NWA 11191)

(Northwest Africa)

Purchased: 2016

Classification: HED achondrite (Eucrite, brecciated)

History: Purchased by Dustin Dickens in 2016 from Moroccan dealer.

Petrography: (A. Irving and S. Kuehner, UWS) Gabbroic eucrite clasts and related debris are set in a very fine grained, partly vitric and vesicular quenched matrix. The major minerals are pigeonite (pale orange in thin section; some exsolved and some unexsolved) and polycrystallline calcic plagioclase, together with accessory silica polymorph, ilmenite, Ti-chromite, Cr-rich chromite, zircon, troilite and barite.

Geochemistry: Orthopyroxene host (Fs59.1-62.3Wo4.1-2.2, FeO/MnO = 32-33, N = 2), clinopyroxene exsolution lamellae (Fs27.0-27.9Wo43.3-42.5, FeO/MnO = 32-35, N = 2), plagioclase (An89.9-90.7Or1.4-0.4, N = 2).

Classification: Eucrite breccia (gabbroic, shock melted).

Specimens: 21 g including one polished thin section at UWB; remainder with Mr. D. Dickens.
