NWA 1943
This Howardite is so fresh
and full of different meteorite clasts that it is virtually a meteorite
collection in each slice! It was found in 2001 in Morocco and was a
single complete stone that weighed 1,220 grams. Here is the exact data
submitted to the Nomenclature Committee. "NWA 1943; a 1220 gram
complete stone was purchased in Erfoud in April 2002. :mostly fine-grained
with rare, large clasts of fine-grained eucrite breccias. Clast moded:
diogenites, 44 vol. %; basaltic eucrites, 17%; cumulate eucrites, 13%;
basaltic breccias, 6%; and shocked clasts, 20%. Diogenite pyroxenes,
Chromite, and metal Ni=5.2. Specimen is remarkably fresh with shiny
crust and no oxidation around metal grains."
This is a perfect meteorite
to fill out any type collection and great fur any museum display to
show what a Howardite is.
