Algeria

Purchased: 2025

Classification: Ordinary chondrite (L, melt rock)

History: In 2025, Mohamed Ali Loud bought this material from a meteorite dealer in Algeria.

Petrography: (K. Metzler, IfP) Clast-poor melt rock consisting of a crystallized melt with few embedded chondritic relicts. The former consists of tiny olivine and low-Ca pyroxene grains with interstitial glass. Accessories are Fe-Ni metal and troilite, both of which are heavily terrestrially altered.

Geochemistry: Mineral compositions and geochemistry: Mean composition of chondritic relicts: olivine Fa25.4±0.7 (Fa25.1-25.7; n=11); Low-Ca pyroxene Fs21.4±0.4Wo2.1±1.1 (Fs20.9-22.5Wo1.2-4.8; n=12).

Classification: L-melt rock, based on texture and mineral chemistry of chondritic relicts.

Weathering grade: high
Classifer: K. Metzler, IfP.
