Mass: 330g
History: The meteorite was purchased from a dealer in Libya.
Physical characteristics: Dark grayish rock lacking fusion crust.
Petrography: Breccia composed of up to 0.5 cm sized gabbroic and melt clasts plus abundant up to 1.3 cm sized mineral fragments in a fine-grained clastic matrix with few melt regions. Predominant minerals are anorthite, olivine, and augite. Minor phases include ilmenite, chromite, and troilite. No metal detected. Contains veins filled with secondary calcite and barite.
Geochemistry: olivine: Fa24.4±0.9 (Fa23.0-25.8, FeO/MnO=100±6, n=7); magnesian olivine: Fa8.7±0.2 (Fa8.3-8.9, FeO/MnO=83±16, n=7); Ca-pyroxene: Fs3.9±0.1Wo41.7±0.7 (Fs3.7-4.0Wo40.9-42.9, FeO/MnO=45±16, n=7); calcic plagioclase: An96.5±0.2 (An96.2-96.8, n=7)
NOTE:
In the meantime, I found the hunter who found this specimen in October 2024. His name is Muhammad Boushal.
Each slice was cut ultra thin, approximately 1.4 mm thick, and covered with paraloid.
