| Description |
NWA 8722: Morocco 2006 Carbonaceous chondrite (CV3). 13.5cm x 12.5cm x 1.4mm slice. The meteorite consists of ca. 40% diverse mm-sized chondrules, 8% refractory inclusions, 2% lithic inclusions/fragments of mm to cm-size, and 50% matrix. The lithic inclusion are of dark or CO chondrite-like texture. The matrix is light brown and somewhat weathered with no visible metal. CV is distinguished by large (mm-sized) chondrules, many of which are surrounded by igneous rims, large refractory inclusions and abundant matrix (40 vol%). Olivines rich in Fe, Ca minerals and Al. Type 3 designates chondrites that are characterized by abundant chondrules, low degrees of aqueous alteration, and unequilibrated mineral assemblages. |
