Classification: HED achondrite (Eucrite, melt breccia)
Observed fall: No
Year found: 2022
Country: (Northwest Africa)
Mass: 5.85 kg
History: The meteorite was purchased from a meteorite dealer in Morocco.
Physical characteristics: Dark grayish rock with some fusion crust.
Petrography: Eucrite-melt breccia composed of up to 3 cm sized basaltic clasts and up to 500 µm sized mineral fragments in black shock melted matrix. Main minerals are exsolved pyroxenes and calcic plagioclase. The shock melt is mostly finely recrystallized and partly displays flow textures. Mineral grains entrained in the melt matrix often show resorption textures. Minor phases include silica, chromite, ilmenite, and FeS. No metallic iron detected.
Shock stage: high
Weathering grade: low
Main mass: David Göttlich
