Description from Meteoritical Bulletin No. 84: At two locations, 1864 m apart, 5 grey-greenish stones
were found which are macroscopically identical. Sayh al Uhaymir
(SaU) 005 comprises one fragment of 547 g and two individuals of
561g and 236g, which are partially covered by fusion crust and
show regmaglyptes. SaU 008 comprises one large individual of 7805
g and a smaller fragmented individual of 774 g. On the latter,
the fresh black fusion crust is almost completely preserved. The
total mass of SaU 005/008 is 9923 g. Mineralogy and
classification (J. Zipfel, MPI): porphyritic texture with large
olivine phenocrysts (Fo64-71) in a fine-grained groundmass of
pigeonite (En61-70Wo6-13) and maskelynite (An51-65Or0.3-0.9);
minor phases are augite, phosphates and opaques; strongly
shocked: mosaicism and planar deformation of olivines, twinning
and fracturing of clinopyroxene, and up to mm-sized shock melted
areas with quench textures are common; brown-orange ring-like
structures formed by extremely fine-grained intergrowths of
unidentified phases are abundant in impact melt areas and
pyroxenes;. the meteorite is extremely fresh, with only a few of
the larger cracks partially filled with calcite. Bulk chemical
analyses (B. Spettel, G. Dreibus, MPI; H. Palme, Köln), noble
gas analyses (M. Paetsch, L Schultz, MPI), and Sm-Nd systematics
(E. Jagoutz, MPI): texture, bulk chemistry, noble gases and Sm-Nd
systematics indicate a very close relationship to Dar al Gani
476/489/670/735; however, based on the distinct mineral chemistry
and the place of find, simple pairing with those meteorites can
be excluded. Specimens: type specimen, 60 g, MPI; main mass with
anonymous finder.
