NWA 11551 Howardite Meteorites for Sale

Location: Northwest Africa, exact location unknown.

Found: 2014

Classification: HED achondrite (Howardite)

Description: Physical characteristics: Exterior surfaces partly covered by black fusion crust; non-crusted surfaces show obvious breccia texture with variegated clasts up 1o 1 cm across. Most surfaces appear relatively unweathered but rust spots are present. Petrography: In thin section appears to be a roughly 50-50 mixture of diogenitic (coarse orthopyroxene) and eucritic (plagioclase, pyroxene-dominated) clasts. Some eucritic pyroxene shows zoning. Geochemistry: Diogenitic orthopyroxene Fs_27.1±3.8Wo_2.4±1.0 (N=182), eucritic low-Ca pyroxene Fs_41.6±6.0Wo_3.1±1.0 (N=40), augite Fs_26.8±7.8Wo_41.5±2.5 (N=30), uninverted pigeonite Fs_48.8±5.8Wo_8.0±2.3 (N=36), bulk inverted pigeonite Fs_50.5±5.4Wo_10.7±3.0 (N=24).
