Hi Jeff, and All, At least the OCs of the L-group are rich in hypersthene, and they even have been called "hypersthene chondrites" prior to our modern classification system. Have a look at:
http://www.meteoris.de/class/L-Group.html It wouldn't take me by surprise if some LL members would also show lithologies that are dominated by hypersthene, or compositionally similar pyroxenes. Best, Norbert -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Hi all, While I know Hypersthene crystals are found in Achondrites (Johnstown probably the most notable), I'm curious how prevalent it is in Ordinary chondrites. I've seen several good examples of bright pale-green crystals in LL3 chondrites with some measuring up to 1mm-1.5mm in size. I'm wondering if this might also be Hypersthene?
