Writeup from MB 107:
Dueodde 54°59’24’’N, 15°04’12"E Denmark Find: 2017 July 17 Classification: Ordinary chondrite (H5) History: While cleaning the roof of the annex of their summerhouse in the area of Dueodde, in the southern part of the island of Bornholm, Denmark, the finder noticed a circular hole of approximately 5 cm in diameter in the roof. Further inspection of the area under the roof revealed the presence of single dark stone with apparent fusion crust. The finder estimates that the meteorite fall must have occurred within the last 2-3 years. Following recovery of the specimen, staff at the NHMD were contacted and the stone delivered. Physical characteristics: Single 75 g spherical stone covered by irregular black fusion crust. Petrography: The petrography was investigated from a polished thick section using backscattered electron imaging and X-ray scans. The meteorite displays an unbrecciated and recrystallized chondritic texture. Plagioclase grains are present and are typically less than 50 μm in size. The chondrules typically display obscured outlines. Porphyritic olivine and radial pyroxene chondrules are observed, ranging in sizes from 0.2 to 1 mm in diameter. Geochemistry: The mean composition of olivine is Fa19.4±0.4 with a compositional range of Fa19.1-19.8 (n=14). The low-Ca pyroxenes have a mean composition of Fs17.2±0.5 (n=15), defining a compositional range of Fs16.4-17.2. The mean plagioclase composition is An12.0±0.3Or5.4±2.0 (n= 15; range An11.6-12.2). Classification: H5 Specimens: Main mass and one thick polished section at NHMD. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
