Writeup from MB 110:
Aydar 006 27°54.58833’N , 10°10.86167’W South, Morocco Find: 2019 Classification: Ordinary chondrite (H3) History: Lahsen Oussalah found the 6 samples weighing a total of 1020 g 8.69km SW of Lebouirat, Morocco, in 2019. Jean Redelsperger purchase the samples from Mohamed El Guirah in Zagora in 2020. Physical characteristics: Samples have wind-blown surfaces devoid of fusion crust, are brown in color, rounded-irregular in shape. A cut face shows the interior contains abundant well-formed, close-packed chondrules, FeNi metal and FeS. Petrography: Classification and Description (A. Love, App) Sample shows chondritic texture composed of abundant chondrules an average apparent diameter of 390 µm (n=58). Additional minerals are: chromite, FeNi metal (8.6 vol%), troilite and apatite. Geochemistry: (A. Love, App) Olivine (Fa17.1±7.4, Fe/Mn=57.3±48.3, n=17), low Ca pyroxene (Fs12.6±8.2Wo1.1±1.1, Fe/Mn=24.7±10.8, n=13). Classification: Ordinary chondrite (H3, C-S2, W2) Chondrule diameters, unequilibrated mineral compositions and metal abundance suggest sample is an H3 chondrite. Specimens: Jean Redelsperger holds the main masses. An endcut weighing 20.90g and a polished mount are on deposit at App. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
