Writeup from MB 107:

Northwest Africa 11807 (NWA 11807)

(Northwest Africa)

Purchased: 2018 Jan

Classification: Primitive achondrite (Winonaite)

History: Purchased by Darryl Pitt in January 2018 from a Moroccan dealer at the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show.

Petrography: (A. Irving and S. Kuehner, UWS) Metamorphic aggregate (mean grainsize 320 µm, with triple grain junctions) composed of forsterite, diopside and enstatite with accessory troilite and stained kamacite.

Geochemistry: Olivine (Fa2.9-3.0, FeO/MnO = 12-13, N = 3), orthopyroxene (Fs2.7-3.0Wo1.1-1.0, FeO/MnO = 8, N = 2), clinopyroxene (Fs1.1-1.2Wo46.4-46.3, FeO/MnO = 5, N = 2). Oxygen isotopes (K. Ziegler, UNM): analyses of acid-washed subsamples by laser fluorination gave, respectively, δ17O 2.395, 2.477, 2.360; δ18O 5.567, 5.758, 5.487; Δ17O -0.544, -0.563, -0.537 per mil.

Classification: Winonaite.
