Writeup from MB 106:
El Médano 356 (EM 356) ~24°51’S, ~70°30’W Antofagasta, Chile Find: 2014 Nov 13 Classification: Ordinary chondrite (L(LL)6) Physical characteristics: Small full stone Petrography: Recrystallized chondritic texture with average plagioclase size above 50 μm. Classification: L(LL)6. Magnetic susceptibility is low for a L chondrite with weathering W1, but high for an LL6 chondrite. The small stone size makes magnetic classification not very robust in this case. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
