Re: [meteorite-list] Met Bulletin Update: Sahara 00293
Hi Carl, Meteorites are like a box of chocolates. I guess even the most common OC's can have something uncommon or interesting about them. I've seen a few oddballs over the years that were too small to classifyor so it seemed at the time. Looking back on it now, I regret not having a couple of them looked at. I think I let an angrite slip through my hands several years ago. Hot and Shocked !!! that sounds like one of those dimestore romance novels for planetary scientists. I picture one of those long-haired, Fabio type of man in a white lab coat, clutching a long-haired vixen in one hand and a XRF gun in the other. LOL.

It is an old Sahara OC found by Mr. Labenne fifteen years ago (2000). Crystylynda Fudge was the classifier. I have never heard this name before. I am just curious why this meteorite suddenly appeared out of obscurity to be approved today.

Physical characteristics: Chondrules largely integrated into matrix, difficult to discern in cut section. Abundant shock-induced melt veins and pockets. Petrography: Fine-grained recrystallized plagioclase throughout matrix, some grains up to 200 μm. Abundant metal sulfides and troilite with trace native Cu. Evidence of minor planar deformation features in olivine. Ubiquitous opaque shock melt veins and associated dark blue ringwoodite and green wadsleyite. Geochemistry: (C.
