[meteorite-list] Olivine Diogenite Data

[Adam Hupe]

Hello Mark and List,   It is funny that you mention thin-sections because we were thinking about making some.  Olivine diogenites are quite fascinating under a petrologic scope.  I still have a hard time telling the difference between orthopyroxene and olivine in thin-section.  The olivine count of ~50% was done with a microprobe at the University of Washington.   Here is link that shows some fascinating images of NWA 1459 as well as some data:   http://www.lpi.usra.edu/meetings/lpsc2003/pdf/1502.pdf   I hope you will find this interesting.   All the best,   Adam         ----- Original Message -----       From: MARK BOSTICK To: Adam Hupe ; Meteorite List Sent: Wednesday, June 18, 2003 10:50 PM Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Ad - Weekly Rare Material Hello Adam and list,   Adam wrote: " I will take some images of the main mass and see if I can point out some areas of interest in a few days."   And perhaps some thin section photos?  I am curious in how it looks compared to diogenites, as my diogenite thin sections look like they have lots of olivine in them.   Mark   PS:  Any thin sections of it for sale?
