AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A truly superb H4 OC meteorite from the Sahara Desert, weighing 476 grams and showing a well-preserved primary fusion crust, regmaglypts, secondary fusion crust, shock-melt veins, and abundant, well-defined, chondrules and CAIs.

This is one of my most recent classifications, and you will be buying from the main mass holder. Except for the type specimen required for classification and a few small sections which will remain with me, this is all there is of this meteorite.

The buyer will also receive (upon request) a few microscope thin-section, cross-polarised light images taken by the classifier, showing various types of chondrules and the matrix of the specimen.

I am a member of the Meteoritical Society (#7743), the Global Meteorite Association (#G0129) and have been collecting meteorites for over 16 years.
