Northwest Africa 13329 (NWA 13329)

(Northwest Africa)

Purchased: 2020 Jan

Classification: Carbonaceous chondrite (CO3)

History: Purchased by Mark Lyon in January 2020 from a Moroccan dealer.

Petrography: (A. Irving, UWS and P. Carpenter, WUSL) Relatively small, well-formed chondrules (apparent diameter 300 ± 220 µm, N = 24) plus sparse mineral fragments and very fine grained AOA are set in a fine grained matrix (~25 vol.%, red-brown in thin section) containing accessory altered kamacite and troilite. No CAI were observed.

Geochemistry: Olivine (Fa34.5±30.8, range Fa1.6-78.3, N = 8; Cr2O3 in ferroan rims 0.04-0.40 wt.%, N = 5), low-Ca pyroxene (Fs0.7Wo0.8; Fs25.6Wo1.7; N = 2), pigeonite (Fs1.5Wo5.1; 13.4Wo5.4; Fs5.8Wo12.4; N = 3), subcalcic augite (Fs1.2±0.7Wo37.3±1.6, range Fs0.7-1.7Wo36.2-38.4, N = 2), plagioclase (An95.9Or0.1).

Classification: Carbonaceous chondrite (CO3).
