Re: [meteorite-list] A Rare Arizona Meteorite Find plus a possible"NEW" New Mexico Strewnfield

Hi Ruben, Congrats on the new Arizona find! What a terrific discovery: metal, large olivine phenocrysts, and even a lonely chondrule. The presence of that chondrule would seem, by definition, to rule out an achondrite classification, although I understand acapulcoites apparently (and paradoxically

Hi guys! My name is Felipe Guajardo and I'm a beginner to the meteorite world. This winter I'm planning on going to Chile and hunting Imilac and Vaca Muerta strewnfields for about a week. I had a question regarding the Vaca Muerta Strewnfield. I've been searching online and I've found these coordin

Re: [meteorite-list] A Rare Arizona Meteorite Find plus a possible"NEW" New Mexico Strewnfield

What is it? Bah, not an easy question, Ruben. As a first spontaneous idea Tafassasset with its olivines (but coarser grain sized) and a bit similar metal distribution came into my mind. And as you mentioned primitive achondrites: as we know Tafassasset seems to show some aspects of brachinite .

Re: [meteorite-list] A Rare Arizona Meteorite Find

Yo, An acapulcoite might have a chondrule, but a lodranite, given the increased metamorphism, highly doubtful. That's what differentiates lodranites from acapulcoites - larger grain size due to more intense/prolonged periods of metamorphism. I would say a mesosiderite - compare to Clover Springs or

Re: [meteorite-list] A Rare Arizona Meteorite Find

Hi Bernd and Greg, It is so strange that is for sure. I don't know what it is but it has about the same metal as an H chondrite and the olivine of a diogenite but the (possible) chondrule of a lodranite. Go figure Whatever it is I have never seen anything quite like it. On Mon, Oct 5, 200

Wow - Congratulations Rubin, that is a beautiful specimen.  At first I thought... a Diogenite, but with so much metal?  The Olivine crystal is really nice, so I would rule out a chondrite, but you never know. It looks like a complete stone, is that right? I hope you can find more.  Also, congr

Hi Bernd, Thanks for the comments. We do have reservations about "if" it really has a chondrule or if it is just a round inclusion. However, some of the most knowledgeable people in the world have guessed high metal diogenite (as it is loaded with metal) or lodrinite or other primitive achondrite-

Wow! Congratulations on the "new" NM strewnfield and on what is probably a very rare achondrite meteorite. *If* it is an achondrite, then there's something wrong about the "lone chondrule" ;-) If there are chondrules and if this "loner" is a chondrule, what about an E-chondrite - maybe anomalous?

That was fun. Thanks for making it Jeff! :) I think a lot of newbies will find it educational as well. Although, like GeoZay said, some of the photos are a little tricky because of the specimen size or lighting. But that keeps the veterans on their toes as well - so maybe not a bad thing. :) B
