Northwest Africa 15337 (NWA 15337) (Northwest Africa) Purchased: 2021 Classification: Carbonaceous chondrite (CK3) History: Purchased by Craig Zlimen in 2021 from an Algerian dealer. Petrography: (A. Irving, UWS and P. Carpenter, WUSL) Well-formed unequilibrated chondrules (apparent diameter 950±260 μm, N = 26) containing Cr-magnetite are set in a fine grained matrix containing Cr-magnetite and pentlandite. Some augite grains are intergrown with calcite. A few very fine-grained CAI are present in the studied thin section. Geochemistry: Olivine (Fa21.3±12.0, range Fa0.3-35.1, N = 7), augite (Fs14.4±5.8Wo48.3±2.9, range Fs8.0-19.5Wo44.9-50.1, N = 3), low-Ca pyroxene (Fs5.50±6.1Wo5.2±1.0, range Fs0.9-12.4Wo4.5-6.4, N = 3), Al-Ti-diopside in CAI (Fs1.5Wo47.5, Al2O3 12.0 wt.%, TiO2 1.2 wt.%), plagioclase (Ab52.9An45.9Or1.2; Ab70.5An26.7Or2.8; N = 2), magnetite (Cr2O3 2.7-3.3 wt.%, N = 4). Classification: Carbonaceous chondrite (CK3). Specimens: 29 g including one polished thin section at UWB; remainder with Mr. C. Zlimen. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
