Writeup from MB 104:

Northwest Africa 10419 (NWA 10419)

(Northwest Africa)

Purchased: 2015

Classification: Primitive achondrite (Lodranite)

History: Purchased by Adam Aaronson in Morocco, 2015.

Physical characteristics: Weathered exterior. A saw cut reveals dark brown and orange crystals ~1 mm in diameter.

Petrography: (C. Agee, UNM) Microprobe examination of a polished mount shows 70% pyroxene grains and 20% olivine grains. Numerous metal and iron oxide veinlets throughout. Kamacite, taenite, chromite, troilite, and Cl-rich apatite detected, plagioclase is absent.

Geochemistry: (C. Agee and N. Muttik, UNM) Olivine Fa7.5±0.9, Fe/Mn=15±1, n=7; low-Ca pyroxene Fs11.0±0.1Wo3.1±0.2, Fe/Mn=13±1, n=4; diopside Fs5.5±0.4Wo41.2±1.1, Fe/Mn=9±0, Cr2O3=1.54±0.02 (wt%), n=2.

Classification: Lodranite, not an acapulcoite, based on relatively coarse grain size and absence of plagioclase.

Specimens: 26 g including a probe mount on deposit at UNM, Aaronson holds the main mass.
