Writeup from MB 110:
Northwest Africa 13677 (NWA 13677) (Northwest Africa) Purchased: 2020 Feb Classification: Primitive achondrite (Winonaite) History: Purchased by Ziyao Wang in February 2020 from a dealer in Erfoud, Morocco. Physical characteristics: This material consists of many small pieces (total 2279 g) found together at the same location. The amount of metal varies among individual pieces and some pieces contain two lithologies with different metal contents. Samples of metal-poor and more metal-rich lithologies were analyzed. Petrography: (A. Irving, UWS and P. Carpenter, WUSL) The metal-poor lithology has a metamorphic triple grain junction texture (mean grainsize ~250 µm) and consists predominantly of forsterite, enstatite and diopside with accessory kamacite, sodic plagioclase, edenitic amphibole, taenite, troilite, schreibersite and rare merrillite. The metal-rich lithology contains the same silicate phases but has more metal (~20 vol.%), more plagioclase and less olivine, demonstrating that this meteorite is heterogeneous in modal mineralogy. Geochemistry: Forsterite (Fa0.6-0.8, FeO/MnO = 2-3, N = 2), enstatite (Fs0.8Wo0.7; Fs3.6-4.7; FeO/MnO = 2-5, N = 6), diopside (Fs1.7-2.3Wo44.1-45.5, FeO/MnO =3, N = 4), plagioclase (Ab78.1-85.1An15.3-10.0Or6.7-2.4, N = 4). Classification: Winonaite. Specimens: 33.0 g including one polished thin section and two polished endcuts at UWB; remainder with WangZ. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
