Hi Mike, Jason, and List, Apart from all the "close matches" and "plots", I can definitely say that my Tafassasset thin section (that I purchased from Mr. Alain Weissler at the Ensisheim Show in 2004) does *not* look like a CR chondrite but rather like a primitive achondrite in cross-polarized light. Most olivine- and pyroxene crystals are *very* small - smaller even than the fine-grained texture of an acapulcoite but there are also some rather large pyroxenes (ca. 10-15 times the size of the average crystal size!) floating amid the surrounding sea of crystals.
I will attach a picture of my Tafassasset TS in cross-polarized light in my private mail to Mike. Tafassasset TS (magnification = 32x) / Exposure: 1/6 Aperture: 2.8 / ISO 100 / Resolution: 2560 x 1920 Cheers, Bernd ______________________________________________ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
