[meteorite-list] NWA 2995 - Mike and Jim's newest Lunar meteorite
Hello Mike, Jim, and List, Sincere congrats on this new, breathtaking lunar meteorite. It is simply amazing what bounties the Hot Deserts yield ! Not only does it resemble Dhofar 910 (Siggi Haberer's and Norbert Classen's Black Moon) but it also somehow reminds me a little of ALHA 81005 - and, of course, of Calcalong Creek as well ! Wonder if NWA 2995's and ALHA 81005's mineralogy and chemistry are more or less identical. Visually at least, they look similar though NWA 2995 is much more intensely brecciated + micro-brecciated. See here: http://epsc.wustl.edu/admin/resources/meteorites/alha81005.html http://epsc.wustl.edu/admin/resources/meteorites/calcalong.html Best regards, Bernd __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Mike wrote: Martin, we were discussing Dho 910 yesterday, this one to me is almost identical, just different colors in the mixed matrix, while 910 is grey/blue and white, this one is white, black, yellow, green, and about all the other colors in between. One of the noteworthy characteristics of Dhofar 910 is that it has abundant vesicles. Does NWA 2995 also have such a significant amount of vesicles? Vesicles: the interesting thing about my two little Dho 910 slices (0.25 + 0.93 grams) is that they are peppered with such vesicles (large and small) but that they are absent in the anorthosites and the other clasts.

Re: [meteorite-list] NWA 2995 - Mike and Jim's newest Lunar meteorite
Ooops, I saw that I sent this earlier message to myself: Yes the pics remind me strong to 910 too. The almost black matrix, the brecciation, the anorthites not with that ivory luster, like they have in the more weathered Moons, but fresh like white chalk! Yep, Dho 910 is a Moon for achromates. Black, white, grey - (I call it Apollo style - if one remmebers the Apollo pics. The black sky, the white spacesuits, the grey soil..). A speciality of Dho 910 is, that it has a lot of vesicles and bubbles, also quite large ones. The matrix is almost foamy. As it is so fresh, the included gases were pumped out - let's see what the results will be. How bubbly is yours? Have you perhaps a pic of a cut surface for us? Really stunning piece, must be a highlight of this year's Tucson!
