Hello list, I have been having fun with my BL meteorites and just aquired a nice ~100 gram slice.
There was much discussion about this LL5 meteorite a while ago because of its gorgeous crust. Not so much discussion on its interior. My new slice is incredible! It has large homogeneous grey clasts which do not attract magnets. I was wondering if these clasts are achondritic? Can an LL5 brecciated meteorite include abundant achondritic clast or would this alter its classification Does anyone have more info on its classification? The Met Bull. still lists this as provisional. The first pic is of my new slice. Notice the large central inclusion. The second pic is a smaller 6 gram end slice and the third pic is my 66 gram beautiful individual. http://ca.geocities.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/metpics/NWA1685_99.jpg http://ca.geocities.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/metpics/NWA1685_5.8.jpg http://ca.geocities.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/metpics/NWA1685_66.8.jpg Jeff Kuyken also has some nice pics and info on this stuff. http://www.meteorites.com.au/odds&ends/bl.html Cheers on a wintery Saturday morning in Canada.
