Writeup from MB 102:

Northwest Africa 7184 (NWA 7184)

(Northwest Africa)

Purchased: 2009 Oct

Classification: Carbonaceous chondrite (CR2)

History: Purchased by Twelker in 2011 August from a dealer in Erfoud, Morocco.

Petrography: (A. Irving and S. Kuehner, UWS) Well-formed medium-sized (0.3 to 0.7 mm) chondrules in a dark-brown, fine-grained matrix containing hydrous minerals (including cronstedtite), Ni-bearing sulfides and rare chlorapatite. Olivine, orthopyroxene, pigeonite, augite, chromite and troilite.

Geochemistry: Olivine (Fa1.5-51.5; Cr2O3 in ferroan olivine 0.06-0.38 wt.%, mean 0.20 wt.%, s.d. 0.13 wt.%, N = 8), orthopyroxene (Fs2.6Wo0.3), pigeonite (Fs27.3Wo14.5), augite (Fs15.2Wo45.6). Oxygen isotopes (R. Tanaka, OkaU): analyses of acid-washed subsamples by laser fluorination gave δ17O = 0.33, 0.84; δ18O = 4.12, 4.74; Δ17O = -1.844, -1.652 per mil

Classification: Carbonaceous chondrite (CR2).
