On Offer: 39.4g complete slice of the ultra rare LL3 (LL3-6) NWA 10214 Chondrite - Host Meteorite of the Chimeric Clast

Official Name: Northwest Africa 10214

Abbreviation: NWA 10214 

AKA: Chimeric Clast

Type: LL3 (LL3-6) Chondrite

Description: 39.4 gram full slice of NWA 10214 LL3 (LL3-6). 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.  

Dimensions: 110.8 mm x 75.73 mm x 2.45 mm

Many low-Ca px grains in chondrules exhibit polysynthetic twinning. Average chondrule size is ~400 µm. Kamacite has 6.1±1.0 wt.% Ni and 1.5±0.9 wt.% Co. (n=7). Taenite with 30 wt.% Ni is also present. Troilite is stoichiometric FeS. The meteorite contains a 7-mm-wide dark carbonaceous chondrite clast with 200-300-µm-size PP and PPO chondrules.; submitted by Sean Tutorow
