Writeup from MB 109:

Northwest Africa 13419 (NWA 13419)

(Northwest Africa)

Purchased: 2008 Jun

Classification: Primitive achondrite (Acapulcoite)

History: Purchased by Adam Aaronson in June 2008 from a dealer in Erfoud, Morocco.

Petrography: (A. Irving, UWS and P. Carpenter, WUSL) Protogranular aggregate (mean grainsize ~400 µm) of predominantly olivine and orthopyroxene with subordinate diopside and altered kamacite (~15 vol.%), plus accessory chromite and merrillite. Secondary goethite is present along grain boundaries.

Geochemistry: Olivine (Fa10.9±1.4, range Fa8.4-12.2, FeO/MnO = 22-24, N = 8), orthopyroxene (Fs11.1-11.3Wo1.6-3.2, FeO/MnO = 13-14, N = 4), diopside (Fs4.3-4.7Wo44.0-45.5, FeO/MnO = 8-9, N = 4). Magnetic susceptibility log χ (× 10-9 m3/kg) = 4.80.

Classification: Acapulcoite.

Specimens: 10.7 g including one polished thin section at UWB; remainder with Aaronson.
