Writeup from MB 109:
Zhengjiabu 40°47’34"N, 124°27’58"E Liaoning, China Find, possible fall: 1982 Classification: Ordinary chondrite (H5) History: Jin Zhicheng, Dandong city, remembers that when he was 12 years old in the summer of 1982, at about 9:30 pm one night when most local people were asleep, a bright fireball illuminated the sky and the ground, followed by an explosion with an echo that continued for a long time. The next day, local people unsuccessfully searched for the cause, and the event was mostly forgotten. Fourteen years later, Jin Zhicheng returned to Zhengjiabu village to support his family. On May 6, 1996, he discovered a big stone while plowing a field, buried 30-40 cm in the heavy soil. He felt that it might be the stone that fell 14 years ago and put it in the yard for a further 23 years, until he asked Ziyao Wang for support in 2019. Physical characteristics: (Ziyao Wang) 17 kg completly crusted individual with regmaglypts, the crust is partly oxidized. Petrography: (R. Bartoschewitz, Bart) chondrule margins are difficult to discern in the strong recrystallized matrix; metal and sulfide mainly show irregular inclusions. Geochemistry: (R. Bartoschewitz, Bart, P. Appel and B. Mader, Kiel) Olivine Fa19.4±0.3 (n=18); low-Ca pyroxene Fs17.2±0.5Wo1.6±0.5 (n=15); Ca pyroxene En48Fs6Wo46 (n=1); feldspar An12Or6 (n=3); chromite CRAL83-85, FFM87-84 (n=2); Cl-apatite and merrillite. Kamacite Ni=5.8-6.2, Co=0.7; taenite Ni=32-34, Co=0.2 (n=3) (all wt-%); troilite. Magnetic susceptibility (R. Bartoschewitz, Bart) log χ (× 10-9 m3/kg) = 5.01. Classification: Ordinary chondrite (H5, S2, W2) Specimens: 20.8 g at Kiel on deposit, Zhicheng Jin holds the main mass, Ziyao Wang 25 g and 131 g with Bart. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
