Ungrouped Iron Meteorite NWA 7335 plessitic Octahedrite - 21.3 g

Etched partial end-cut of NWA 7335 Iron ungrouped, plessitic octahedrite. Amazing micro pattern in a meteorite that shows characteristics of both medium and plessitic octahedrites. Cut and polished sections display 3 prominent lamellae directions. Two are at 60° intersection angles with a unique 70° intersection angle. The lamellae producing the Widmanstätten pattern have an average bandwidth of 0.6±0.2 mm, indicative of a medium octahedrite. Upon closer examination however, these lamellae are composed of multiple tiny spindles ( mm width) that are roughly parallel to each other. The spindles can also be seen in the plessite matrix displaying an octahedrite arrangement on a much finer scale, similar to that of a plessitic octahedrite. Although Ni content is similar to IB, IIC, and IIIAB groups, Ga and Ir concentrations are outside limits for these groups Date: P March 2009 Mass (g): 4908 Pieces: 1 21.32 g - 28 x 17 x 8 mm Scale-cube is 1 x 1 x 1 cm International meteorite collector association #3503 !!
