Hassi Rtiem 001 27°53’56.7’’N, 9°23’14.9’’W

South, Morocco

Purchased: 2021 Jan

Classification: HED achondrite (Eucrite, monomict)

History: Purchased from a moroccan mineral dealer. Found in Morocco in October 2019.

Petrography: (K. Metzler, IfP) Achondritic breccia, consisting of mm-sized eucritic lithic clasts with ophitic to subophitic textures and monomineralic fragments (pyroxene, plagioclase) set in a fine-grained clastic matrix of related debris. Low-Ca pyroxene shows augite exsolution lamellae. Accessories are a silica polymorph, ilmenite, chromite, troilite, and some Ni-free metal.

Geochemistry: Mineral compositions and geochemistry: Low-Ca pyroxene (host): Fs_52.9±0.9Wo_2.5±0.3(Fs_51.2-54.0Wo_2.0-2.8); mean Fe/Mn (at.): 33; n=15. Ca-rich pyroxene (exsolution lamellae) Fs_23.7±1.0Wo_42.1±0.8(Fs_22.2-25.2Wo_41.0-43.2); mean Fe/Mn (at.): 33; n=10. Plagioclase An_85.2±4.8Or_0.0±1.7(An_78.3-91.1Or_0.0-1.7); n=13.

Classification: Monomict eucrite, based on texture, mineralogical composition, and mineral chemistry.
