Unbrecciated Basalt, Achondrite - Eucrite

Shock  Grade: Low

Weathering Grade: Low

(TKW) 254g.

Description: The meteorite is an unbrecciated basalt consisting dominantly of coarse-grained blocky pyroxene, plagioclase, and silica. Pyroxene is augite with Ca-poor exsolution lamella or vice versa. Plagioclase often contains pyroxene inclusions. Minor phases include ilmenite and Al-Ti-rich chromite. Few regions appear more fine-grained and plagioclase poor than the major part of the meteorite.

Geochemistry:  Mineral composition as determined by EMP: plagioclase, An78.5-91.1; pyroxene, Fs27-64.1Wo1.2-44.5.

Classification:  Achondrite (eucrite); low degree of shock, low degree of weathering.
