Writeup from MB 108:
Daveytown 004 41°19.539’N, 117°52.321’W Nevada, United States Find: 2015 Aug 14 Classification: Ordinary chondrite (H5) History: This stone was recovered by Robert Verish while he was searching for meteorites on a small drylake, on a north-facing stranding-surface. Physical characteristics: The original exterior to this find is non-existant, so it cannot be determined whether this 7.25 g charcoal-gray stone is a fragment or was a whole-stone. Groundmass is apparently friable since many chondrules stand-out in high relief on the current exterior. The interior is colored gray-brown. Petrography: (F. Sheikh, FSU) Chondrule boundaries blurred (600±50 µm, N=2). Recrystallized matrix with plagioclase (10-15 µm). Geochemistry: Olivine, Fa19.2±0.6 (N=25); orthopyroxene, Fs18.7±0.9Wo1.7±0.5, (N=25). Classification: Ordinary Chondrite (H5) Specimens: 1.45 grams at UCLA; main mass with Verish. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
