Writeup from MB 104:

Coyote Dry Lake 334 (CyDL 334)        35°4.136’N, 116°45.134’W

California, USA

Find: 2013 Dec 06

Classification: Ordinary chondrite (LL3)

History: Found by April Ables while walking with her family on a dry lake. They were searching for meteorites.

Physical characteristics: Round-shaped stone; distinct chondrules visible on weathered exterior.

Petrography: Very little metallic Fe-Ni is present, consistent with an LL classification. The average chondrule size is 500-600 μm, consistent with LL. 

Geochemistry: The kamacite Co content is 1.8 wt.% (n=1), consistent with LL. Low-Ca pyroxene grains exhibit abundant polysynthetic twins, consistent with type 3.  The Cr2O3 content of ferroan olivine grains is 0.05±0.08 (n=16), consistent with type ~3.2.  No clear, isotropic glass is present in the chondrules, consistent with type ~3.5.  The heterogeneity of the olivine is appreciably greater than that of H3.8 Dhajala, suggesting type <3.8.  These data suggest type 3.6-3.7.

Classification: An ordinary chondrite from the LL group that is petrologic type 3.6 to 3.7

Specimens: 2.87 g type specimen at UCLA; main mass with Verish.
