Tanezrouft 092 (Tnz 092) 24°57’43.6"N, 1°02’42.7"E Adrar, Algeria Purchased: 2022 March 31 Classification: Rumuruti chondrite (R3-5) History: Found in Algeria on January 9, 2022 Petrography: (K. Metzler, IfP) Chondritic breccia, consisting of dark host material (clastic matrix) and lighter chondritic clasts with sizes up to 5 mm. The clastic matrix represents a mixture of unequilibrated and equilibrated chondrules and related debris. The investigated light clast represents type 5 material (equilibrated olivine and pyroxene) with clearly visible chondrules. Accessories are troilite, pentlandite, and Cr-Al-spinel; no metal was found. Geochemistry: Mineral compositions and geochemistry: Clastic matrix: Mean olivine composition: Fa25.4±15.1 (1.4-42.1); n=11; mean low-Ca pyroxene composition Fs11.5±6.0Wo0.6±0.7 (Fs3.0-18.4Wo0.0-2.2); n=9. Chondritic clast of petrologic type 5: mean olivine composition Fa38.7±0.7 (Fa38.3-39.0); n=9; mean composition of low-Ca pyroxene: Fs29.9±0.4Wo1.3±0.3 (Fs29.1-30.4Wo1.0-1.7); n=8. Classification: R chondrite based on mineral chemistry. Genomict breccia, consisting of clasts of petrologic type 5, embedded in a clastic matrix containing type 3 material. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
