Writeup from MB 106:
Los Vientos 159 (LoV 159) ~24°41’S, ~69°46’W Antofagasta, Chile Find: 2013 Nov 06 Classification: Ordinary chondrite (H, melt breccia) Petrography: Chondrule-bearing clasts set in a quenched melt host with pervasive shock darkening and composite metal/sulfide grains. Porosity in the form of 50-100 μm sub-spherical cavities makes up 10 vol% of the sample (point counting, N=370). The petrologic type of the chondritic clasts could not be determined because the texture has been obliterated by the shock features. Classification: H-melt breccia | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
