Hi All,
Looks like we have another opportunity for a
classification contest.
Based upon the early photos, it sure looks like the
glossy Ca-rich
fusion crust of a Eucrite, with my more specific
guess (hard to tell
since the photo is small) of a polymict fragmental
breccia with
dominantly plagioclase and pyroxene clasts set into
a fine-grained
matrix of zoned orthopyroxene.
My guess on the TKW is under 200g! What's that based
upon? Well, it
looks like the other fragments found are too
weathered to be from this
fall, and are likely from this planet (if you catch
my drift).
Cheers,
Martin
