Lunar meteorite (anorthositic breccia)

Libya 27°22.17'N 16°11.93'E
Found 1998 March 10
A 1.425 kg stone was found in Dar al Gani in the Libyan Sahara. Classification and description (J. Zipfel, MPI): the meteorite is partly covered with a brownish fusion crust; fresh surfaces are gray to dark gray; matrix is well consolidated; clasts include subophitic and fine-grained to microporphyritic impact-melt breccias, granulitic fragments, intergranularly recrystallized anorthosites, and mineral fragments; chemical and O isotope composition is characteristic of lunar highland meteorites (Zipfel et al., 1998b); abundances and composition of noble gases do not suggest a pairing with DaG 262 (Scherer et al., 1998b). For further details, see Zipfel et al. (1998b). Type specimen and two polished sections are with the MPI; main mass with finder.The Meteoritical Bulletin, No. 82, Meteoritics & Planetary Science 33, A221-A240 (1998)

Zagami

Type: Shergottite (SNC)

Location: Zagami, Katsina Province, Nigeria
Fell: October 3, 1962
On an October afternoon in 1962, this meteorite landed about 10 feet away from a farmer who was trying to chase crows from his corn field. The farmer heard a tremendous explosion and was buffeted by a pressure wave. After a puff of smoke and a thud, the meteorite buried itself in a hole about 2 feet deep. Weighing at about 18,000 grams (40 pounds), the Zagami meteorite is the largest single individual Mars meteorite ever found.

Dar al Gani 670  Libya exact location unknown
Found 1999  Martian basalt (shergottite)
A dark-brown stone, broken into three adjoining pieces, with a total
mass of 1619 g, was found in the Dar al Gani region. Mineralogy and
classification (L. Folco, MNA-SI): cm-sized patches of fusion crust
are present on the external surfaces; porphyritic texture consisting
of mm-sized phenocrysts of brown olivine (Fo58-80) set in a fine
grained basaltic groundmass of tabular pyroxene and interstitial
feldspathic glass (An52-72Or0-1); pyroxene is primarily pigeonite
(En56-66Wo9-13) with subordinate enstatite (En73-82Wo2-3) and augite
(En48-50Wo31-36); other minerals are chromite, titanian chromite,
ilmenite, merrillite and pyrrhotite; shock features include strong
mosaicism and planar deformation in olivine, undulose extinction and
twinning in pyroxene, and abundant impact melt pockets and veinlets;
pervasive veins filled in by calcite are due to terrestrial weathering.
Oxygen isotopes (A. Sexton and I. A. Franchi, OU): d17O = +2.83 \211,
d18O = +4.95 \211, D17O  = +0.26 \211. The petrography and level of
terrestrial weathering are essentially identical to those of DaG 476
and DaG 489, and the three are very likely paired. Specimens: main
mass with anonymous finder; 11.9 g and one polished thin section at
MNA-SI.

Libya 27\27210'N, 16\260 10' E  Found 1996/97 winter
A 588 g complete stone covered with desert varnish was collected
in the Dar al Gani region.  Classification and mineralogy (F. Wlotzka,
MPI; M. Kurz, Neukirchen, Germany):  a porphyritic basalt with
mm-sized olivines (normally zoned from Fa28 to Fa37) in a finer
grained matrix of pigeonite (Fs25-28) and feldspathic glass (An65);
a direct comparison with a thin section of DaG 476 shows that both
stones are very similar and are probably paired; however, DaG 735
does not contain terrestrial carbonate veins, and appears less
weathered than DaG 476.  Specimens: type specimen, 6 g, MPI; main
mass with anonymous finder.

Moldavite

Moldau River Valley, Czech Republic.  Moldavite is a green translucent silica meteoric glass created by a large cosmic velocity meteorite which vaporized when it struck the earth

in Nφrdlingen, Germany, creating the Ries Crater, approximately

14.8 million years ago.  Moldavite is one of the rarest varieties

of tektite.
