SAMPLE BE 1010. (Now AML 23/0908). Examination of a thin section shows a chondritic texture, with very diffuse and almost unrecognizable chondrules of less than 0.4 mm in diameter.
Olivine presents irregular fractures. Pyroxene is practically orthorhombic.
FeNi metallic phase occupies >20% vol. There is accessory troilite.
The sample is an Ordinary Chondrite, type H (based on diameter of chondrules and amount of free metal), type 6 (based on degree of recrystallization and development of pyroxene, and on the state of chemical equilibrium of the chondrules).
The shock grade is compatible with S2, presenting granulated metal, and only irregular fractures in the minerals.
The Weathering grade is W4 based on the oxidation of metals and silicates.
.
Meteorite Source
South East of Dakhla; located in the Western Sahara Desert, Morocco. Latitude and longitude coordinates for Dakhla are: 30°24'38.56"N, 9°33'20.59"W.
Meteorites were found in this area between Imlili, Aousserd and Tichla.
We visited Morocco in 2017 and visited areas where meteorites were found, but they were extremely difficult to find. In several hours we only found one small meteorite. Two images enclosed when we went fossicking for meteorites.
