(Northwest Africa)

Purchased: 2016

Classification: Carbonaceous chondrite (CK4)

History: Purchased by Dustin Dickens in 2016 from a dealer in Amellagou Ksar Ait’ Youb, Morocco.

Petrography: (A. Irving and S. Kuehner, UWS) Separated, well-delineated chondrules containing Cr-magnetite are set in a finer grained matrix composed mainly of mafic silicates with Cr-magnetite, altered metal, pyrite and minor barite. One CAI composed of anorthite+olivine+pleonaste was observed in the studied thin section.

Geochemistry: Olivine (Fa_32.6-32.7, FeO/MnO = 116-120, N = 3), orthopyroxene (Fs_26.7-26.8Wo_0.6, N = 3), clinopyroxene (Fs_8.8-10.2Wo_46.8-46.9, N = 2).

Classification: Carbonaceous chondrite (CK4).

Specimens: 6.1 g including one polished thin section at UWB; remainder with Mr. D. Dickens.
