NWA 4881 Lunar
Reported:
Meteoritical Bulletin Database
No. 93,
2008.
History:
Found in 2005 and purchased by Stefan Ralew in January 2007 from a dealer in
Quarzazate, Morocco.
Physical characteristics: A single, broken, irregular conical stone (606 g)
partially covered by translucent, pale greenish fusion crust and with a pale
gray-brown interior (Fig. 2).
Petrography: (A. Irving and S. Kuehner, UWS) Fine-grained recrystallized
breccia composed of larger plagioclase grains (converted partially to
maskelynite) poikilitically enclosing very small grains (mostly 30-80 microns)
of low-Ca pyroxenes, olivine, Ti-chromite, ilmenite, troilite and metal.
Mineral
compositions and Geochemistry: Olivine (Fa40.4-58.8, FeO/MnO = 91-100),
plagioclase (An96.1-98Or<0.1), pigeonite (Fs32.0-64.5Wo9.5-13.1, FeO/ MnO =
51.1-62).
Classification: Achondrite (lunar, granulitic breccia).
This stone is
paired with
NWA 3163
(Irving et al.
2006) and
NWA 4483;
in combination these specimens evidently represent naturally broken pieces from
a crusted lunar meteorite weighing at least 2448 g. Specimens: A total of
20 g of sample and one polished mount are on deposit at UWS. Ralew holds the
main mass.
