Writeup from MB 102:
El Médano 195 ~24°51’S, ~70°32’W Antofagasta, Chile Found: 2011 Oct 23 Classification: Ordinary chondrite (H/L3) Petrography: Fa PMD=29%, Fs PMD=23%. Cr2O3 in ferroan olivine is 0.11±0.17 wt.% (N=13). Mean chondrule apparent diameter 413±245 μm (N=70) is too small for a L chondrite, and magnetic susceptibility logc=4.99 is too low for a H W1 (but identical to Tieschitz at 4.97 and Bremervörde at 4.99), hence the H/L classification. Estimated sub-type of 3.4 based on PMD FeO in olivine and texture. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
