Summary edit
| Description | Ordinary chondrite (field of view ~2.2 cm across) - NWA 3189 Meteorite, found in northwestern Africa. This has been classified as an LL3.2-3.4 ordinary chondrite (“LL” means very low total iron content; “3” refers to well-preserved chondrules - the rock has not been subjected to metamorphism intense enough to disrupt the chondritic texture). This chondrite has a nice, multicolored mix of chondrules of varying size and shape. Not all chondrites have obvious chondrules as this specimen does. Chondrites subjected to significant thermal metamorphism some time in their history have chondrules that are partially to almost completely recrystallized. |
