Writeup from MB 106:

Hami 006        42°8.09’N, 93°26.24’E

Xinjiang, China

Find: 8 Apr, 2014

Classification: Ordinary chondrite (L5)

History: The meteorite was found by Y. Wang in April, 2014, in the Gobi Desert of south Hami. A group of meteorite hunters with four persons drove from Beijing to Neimenggu, Gansu and Xinjiang provinces. Eight meteorite specimens were found in that trip, with total weight of ~15 kg and Hami 006 is the largest, with weight ~7.87 kg.

Physical characteristics: The meteorite was a single piece with part surface covered by dark-brown fusion crust.

Petrography: (S. Hu and Y. Lin, IGGCAS) The meteorite is mainly composed of olivine, pyroxene, plagioclase,Fe-Ni metal (kamacite and taenite) and troilite, with minor chromite and apatite. Fe-Ni metal displays strong terrestrial weathering. Relict chondrules are identifiable on the sections.

Geochemistry: Mineral compositions and geochemistry: (S. Hu and Y. Lin, IGGCAS) Olivine (Fa25.2±0.2) and low-Ca pyroxene (Fs21.3±0.9Wo2.0±1.4) are homogeneous in chemical composition.

Classification: (S. Hu and Y. Lin, IGGCAS) L5

Specimens: The main mass was held by Y. Wang and 200 g was deposited at IGGCAS
