Northwest Africa 11337 (NWA 11337)

(Northwest Africa)

Purchased: 1997

Classification: HED achondrite (Eucrite, polymict)

History: Purchased by Ken Regelman in 1997 from a Moroccan dealer.

Petrography: (A. Irving and S. Kuehner, UWS) Breccia containing some lithic eucrite clasts (with intersertal and microgranular textures) plus related mineral debris and <5 vol.% diogenitic orthopyroxene set in a finer grained, slightly stained matrix. Other minerals are exsolved pigeonite, calcic plagioclase, silica polymorph, ilmenite, troilite and rare zircon. Some calcite veinlets were observed.

Geochemistry: Low-Ca pyroxene (Fs29.1Wo5.0; Fs47.7Wo2.6; FeO/MnO = 27-33; N = 2), orthopyroxene host (Fs58.4Wo3.7, FeO/MnO = 24), clinopyroxene exsolution lamella (Fs32.1Wo35.4, FeO/MnO = 25), clinopyroxene host in exsolved pigeonite (Fs33.9Wo33.6, FeO/MnO = 25), plagioclase (An90.7-91.9Or0.3-0.4, N = 2).

Classification: Eucrite (polymict breccia).

Specimens: 21.3 g including one polished thin section at UWB; remainder with Mr. K. Regelman.
