Northwest Africa 13571 (NWA 13571)

Morocco

Purchased: 2013

Classification: HED achondrite (Eucrite, melt breccia)

History: Sergey Vasiliev and Marc Jost (SJS) purchased the 61.1 g specimen from a Mohammed Sbai in Ouzarzazate, Morocco, in April 2013.

Physical characteristics: Sample is an ovoid-shaped fragment. The exterior is partially coated with a greenish-orange rind that may be where the impact melt vein is exposed on the surface. The cut face of the sample shows a dark interior with an impact melt brecciated structure.

Petrography: Sample shows breccia in breccia structure composed of angular to rounded clasts set within an opaque melt matrix. Clasts have brecciated textures composed of basaltic textured clasts set within a comminuted matrix crosscut by 2 mm thick opaque impact melt veins. Lithic fragments have subophitic textures with exsolved pyroxenes. Additional minerals are Si polymorph, chromite, ilmenite and apatite.

Geochemistry: (A. Love, App) low-Ca pyroxene, Fs61.5±0.6Wo2.7±0.8 (Mg#36.7±0.4, Fe/Mn=30.0±1.1, n=25); pigeonite, Fs55.9±4.1Wo11.0±3.4 (Fe/Mn=30.2±0.3, n=2); high-Ca pyroxene, Fs27.7±3.5Wo42.3±4.1 (Fe/Mn=30.2±0.8, n=17); plagioclase, An88.8±2.2Or0.4±0.2 (n=24).

Classification: HED achondrite (eucrite impact melt breccia). Based on textures and mineral compositions, sample is a basaltic eucrite impact melt breccia.

Specimens: Sergey Vasiliev and Marc Jost (SJS) hold the main mass. A type sample of composed of a slice and end cut weighing 12.23 g and a polished thin section are on deposit at App.
