Northwest Africa 13309(NWA 13309)

(Northwest Africa)

Purchased: 2019 Sep

Classification: Ordinary chondrite (LL3.15)

History: Purchased by Mbark Arjdal in September 2019 from a dealer in Timbuktu, Mali.

Petrography: (A. Irving,UWSand P. Carpenter,WUSL) Well-formed, fairly closely packed, relatively unequilibrated, glass-bearing chondrules (apparent diameter 900 ± 560 µm, N = 23) plus some isolated mineral clasts are set in a sparse opaque matrix rich in kamacite, taenite and troilite.

Geochemistry: Olivine (Fa16.2±8.3, range Fa0.6-26.9, N = 9; Cr2O3in ferroan olivines 0.07-0.55 wt.%, mean 0.25±0.16 wt.%, N = 33), low-Ca pyroxene (Fs14.4±5.0Wo1.5±1.8, range Fs7.4-21.5Wo0.3-4.7, N = 5), subcalcic augite (Fs19.2Wo31.1), diopside (Fs1.2Wo44.5). Magnetic susceptibility log χ (× 10-9m3/kg) = 4.51.

Classification: Ordinary chondrite (LL3.15). Chondrule sizes and magnetic susceptibility support an LL rather than L class. Subtype based on Cr2O3contents of ferroan olivines per Figure 15 ofGrossman and Brearley (2005).

Specimens: 38.2 g including one polished thin section atUWB; remainder with Mr. J.N. and Brearley A.J. (2005) The onset of metamorphism in ordinary and carbonaceous chondrites.Meteorit. Planet. Sci.40, 87-122. (link)Data from:
