Writeup from MB 104:

Northwest Africa 10319 (NWA 10319)

Morocco, (Northwest Africa)

Purchased: 2006

Classification: HED achondrite (Eucrite, cumulate)

History: A single stone of 7 g was found by an anonymous finder in Western Sahara and purchased by Romano Serra at the Bologna Mineral Show in 2006.

Physical characteristics: The main mass has no fusion crust.

Petrography: (V. Moggi Cecchi, G. Pratesi, S. Caporali, UniFi): A cumulate eucrite consisting of large orthopyroxene crystals, 150-200 μm in width, with minor clinopyroxene and anorthitic plagioclase. Some orthopyroxene crystals display very fine (1-2 μm width) pigeonite exsolution lamellae. Minor phases include ilmenite and chromite.

Geochemistry: (V. oggi Cecchi, G. Pratesi, S. Caporali, UniFi) Calcic plagioclase An90.1±1Or0.5±0.1, n=7, pigeonite (Fs49.8±1.6En34.4±.5Wo15.8±0.8; n=8; Fe/Mn=34.99±0.14); low-Ca pyroxene (Fs59.5±1.3En36.7±1.4Wo3.8±0.2; n=7; Fe/Mn=36.98±0.15); pigeonite exsolution lamellae in low-Ca pyroxene (Fs47.1±1.6,En33.8±1.3Wo19.1±0.8; n=9; Fe/Mn = 35.90±0.13). Oxygen isotopes: (I. Franchi, R. Greenwood, OU) δ17O = 1.84 ‰, δ18O = 3.96 ‰, Δ17O = -0.22 ‰.

Classification: Eucrite-cm with low degree of shock and low degree of weathering.

Specimens: A total of 1.4 g specimen and one thin section is on deposit at MSN-FI. The main mass is on deposit at OAM.
