Hello list, this times looking for terrstrial rocks analog to some meteorite type, I have found this one, a terrestrial dunite (major constituents of the Earth's mantle above a depth
of about 400 kilometers), amazingly close in look to the Chassigny meteorite, a martian dunite. In the binocular, the same fine grained olivine, with the same tiny deep green chromite grains. I have put into the webpage links to high resolution pictures for you can judge. If I had not the card/CAO from the local university with the one I trade it, located 80Km to the Chassigny village (yes I live in Besançon : 15Km of Ornans, and 80Km of Chassigny!!!), I might have doubts... A sugar like structure for the fine grained specimens (fragile), but one was coarser grained, and I have decided to sliced it... Seems to come from the same locality... http://wwmeteorites.com/TerrestrialDunite.html Fabien ______________________________________________ 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
