This is the host meteorite of the famed \"Chimeric Clast (clast 6)\", a completely new type of chondrite previously unknown to science. The clast and its host were studied by Dr. Alan E. Rubin at UCLA's Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics (IGPP). The Chimeric Clast (clast 6) displays characteristics of the Enstatite, Carbonaceous and Ordinary chondrites, but defies being grouped into any of these existing categories. As such, the clast represents a never before seen \"ungrouped\" chondrite completely new to meteoritics.  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 110.8 mm x 75.73 mm x 2.45 mm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePopular Article:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.meteorite-times.com\/articles\/chimeric-clast-meteorite\/\" title=\"The chimeric Clast a new kind of chondrite by Dustin Dickens\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eChimeric Clast - A New Kind of Meteorite\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOriginal Research Article:  \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/full\/10.1111\/maps.12797\" title=\"NWA 10214 clast 6 chimeric clast a new unique ungrouped chondrite scholarly article\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eNWA 10214—An LL3 chondrite breccia with an assortment of metamorphosed, shocked, and unique chondrite clasts\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat you get:\u003c\/strong\u003e 39.4g slice of NWA 10214 with signed Certificate of Authenticity \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eWe offer a 100% no questions asked 30 day return policy.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eSee Official Meteoritical Society Entry Below.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eNote that the Chimeric Clast was discovered after classification as well as the more specific \/ complete LL 3.7 classification.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\" id=\"maintable\" cellpadding=\"4\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"tablefat\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse;
