Writeup from MB 112:

Limón Verde 017        22°30.05’S, 68°46.08’W

Antofagasta, Chile

Find: 19 Nov 2022

Classification: Ordinary chondrite (L3)

Petrography: The meteorite mainly is composed of chondrules and the minor chondrule fragments and fine-grained matrix. The chondrules are well outlined. Some of them are surrounded by the metal-troilite rims. Average chondrule diameter is 702±347 µm (N=70). The chondrules are of PO, POP, RP, granular olivine-pyroxene and granular olivine types. Barred and cryptocrystalline chondrules are rare. The chondrule mesostasis is isotropic glass. Olivine has undulatory extinction and irregular fractures. The metal (1.1 vol.%) and troilite mainly form irregular, poorly outlined aggregates and fine separated grains in the chondrule interstitions. At places the metal and troilite veinlets cross the silicate grains. Fe,Ni hydroxide is accessory phase.

Geochemistry: Olivne Fa PMD = 65.6%.
