NWA 3140
Name: Northwest Africa 3140
Classification: Achondrite (Ureilite)
Found: April 2004
Location: Northwest Africa
History:
A 750 g dense, broken, greenish-grey stone (one large and several smaller pieces) was purchased in Tagounite from a Moroccan dealer by the Hupes in April 2004.
Classification and mineralogy:
(A. Irving and S. Kuehner, UWS): Mainly olivine with subordinate pigeonite and interstitial metal plus finely granular carbon phases (including diamond, judging from difficulties in cutting this specimen). The rims of grains of both olivine and pigeonite exhibit characteristic reduced compositions against interstitial matrix.
