Writeup from MB 109:

Northwest Africa 13332 (NWA 13332)

(Northwest Africa)

Purchased: 2005

Classification: Carbonaceous chondrite (CK3)

History: Purchased by an anonymous collector from a dealer at the Munich Show in 2005, subsequently acquired by the Hollis Collection and then donated to PSF.

Petrography: (A. Irving, UWS and P. Carpenter, WUSL) This small stone has experienced considerable desert weathering resulting in pervasive staining by iron hydroxides. Well-formed granular chondrules (apparent diameter 1080±570 µm, N = 21) containing rounded grains of altered Cr-magnetite plus sparse very fine grained CAI are set in a fine grained matrix (~25 vol.%, deep red-brown in thin section) containing altered Cr-magnetite, kamacite and troilite. CAI are composed of mainly of gehlenite together with diopside, spinel, taenite, hercynite and pentlandite.

Geochemistry: Olivine (Fa36.2±20.2, range Fa0.3-59.2, N = 6), low-Ca pyroxene (Fs27.2±17.6Wo0.6±0.1, range Fs6.9-39.0Wo0.5-0.6, N = 3), subcalcic augite (Fs47.4Wo20.7), diopside (Fs3.0Wo40.0),plagioclase (An94.3Or0.0), magnetite (Cr2O3 = 1.6 wt.%).

Classification: Carbonaceous chondrite (CK3).

Specimens: The entire specimen including one polished thin section is at PSF.
