Writeup from MB 106:

Northwest Africa 11193 (NWA 11193)

(Northwest Africa)

Purchased: 2016 Jun

Classification: Lunar meteorite (feldspathic breccia)

History: Purchased by Ben Hoefnagels in June 2016 from a dealer in Taliouine, Morocco.

Physical characteristics: A single stone (155 g) composed of angular white and light-gray clasts in a fine-grained gray matrix containing visible small grains of metal.

Petrography: (A. Irving and S. Kuehner, UWS) Breccia composed of angular mineral grains of anorthite, olivine, orthopyroxene, zoned pigeonite, subcalcic augite, ferropigeonite, chromite, Ti-chromite, ilmenite and fayalite in a finer grained matrix containing kamacite, troilite, baddeleyite, Zr-Ca-Cr-bearing titanate and calcite.

Geochemistry: Olivine (Fa26.7-47.5, FeO/MnO = 94-98, N = 3), orthopyroxene (Fs21.5Wo4.5, FeO/MnO = 84), pigeonite (core Fs35.7Wo11.4; rim Fs47.2Wo13.4; FeO/MnO = 61-70), ferropigeonite (Fs69.6-69.9Wo21.6-24.6, FeO/MnO = 71-77, N = 2), subcalcic augite (Fs15.4Wo33.4, FeO/MnO = 65), plagioclase (An95.3-97.1Or0.6-0.2, N = 2). Bulk composition (R. Korotev, WUSL): INAA of subsamples gave the following mean abundances (in wt.%) FeO 7.7, Na2O 0.44; (in ppm) Sc 17.1, Ni 340, La 6.2, Sm 2.47, Eu 0.77, Yb 1.97, Lu 0.28, Hf 2.0, Th 1.4.

Classification: Lunar (feldspathic breccia).

Specimens: 20.3 g including a polished endcut at UWB; remainder with Mr. B. Hoefnagels.
