Hi to all, I know some of you enjoy thin section images, here is a series from what is likely to be an LL5-LL6 genomict breccia. This is the neat 165g stone with multiple inclusions that I am getting classified.
Stone prior to cutting: http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c165/jedisdiamond/165gNWAxxxx.jpg Here is the main mass: http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c165/jedisdiamond/165gNWAxxxx616gmainmass.jpg Detail of clasts: http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c165/jedisdiamond/LithologyMap.jpg What is the preliminary results? LL5-LL6 genomict breccia containing clasts of: -type 4 or type 5 LL chondrite -type 6 LL chondrite -fine-grained microbreccia clasts -shock darkened clasts -and impact melt litholies ranging from partially melted to totally melted equigranular and vitrophyiric objects (some of which show evidence of multiple heating events) set w/in a fine grained accretionary matrix containing sparse, but well-defined chondrules. And here are the tin section images - they are very nice, enjoy! http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c165/jedisdiamond/Chond_125xPL.jpg http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c165/jedisdiamond/Clast_1225xXP.jpg http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c165/jedisdiamond/Clast_1325xXP.jpg http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c165/jedisdiamond/Clast_225xPL.jpg http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c165/jedisdiamond/Clast_3125xXP.jpg http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c165/jedisdiamond/Clast_4125xXP.jpg http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c165/jedisdiamond/Clast_5125xXP.jpg Hope you enjoy the pics, Greg C. ______________________________________________ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
