Official Announcement
NWA 6077 IS PAIRED WITH NWA 5400
North West Africa 6077 Description:
An olivine-rich assemblage with cumulate (or possibly metamorphic) texture
exhibiting triple junction grain boundaries. Olivine (Fa30.2-30.7),
orthopyroxene (Fs24.1-24.5Wo2.1-2.0), clinopyroxene
Absolutely wonderful! Every one should take a look. Very well done!
Now that you have jumped on this train you are in for quite a ride. Given
