New, surprising & and recent additions:

and interesting (extremely sodic unlike any other lunaite) lunar material

A completely new rare (prov. from a different unique lunar region) and interesting (extremely alkali-rich unlike any other lunaite) lunar type:

Lunar KREEP impact melt breccia - Dhofar 1442              

Find 2005; TkW: 120 g in total. Fusion crust absent.

Note: The mineralogy this lunaite shows by far the highest Na2O value (appr. twice as high as that of all other lunaites) as well as K2O content (K2O: 0.76) of all known lunar meteorites.

Most Lunaites have a K2O value of a seventh or less (of that of o 1442. Only Calcalong Creek and NWA 773 have a higher K2O value than the other lunars but still only a third of that of  Dho 1442

Petrography: (Ivanova M.A., Lorenz C.A., and Nazarov M.A., Vernad.) Meteorite is a impact melt breccia containing lithic clasts, mineral fragments, glassy spherules, granulites and melt breccias embedded in a fine-grained melt matrix.

It is a polymict breccia although the matrix/clasts ratio is varying from sample to sample of the meteorite. The lithic clasts population is presented by anorthosites, gabbroes, olivine gabbro-norites,

gabbro-norites and norites. KREEPy and mare basalt clasts are present. The size of the clasts ranges from 0.02-8 mm;

the main minerals are pyroxene and feldspar; minor - olivine, silica, chromite, ilmenite, Ca-phosphate, troilite and FeNi metal.  

Geochemistry: (Ivanova M.A. and Kononkova N.N. (Vernad.) Chemical compositions of mineral phases are: feldspar An73-96Ab3.7-24.8;

clinopyroxene En2.6-69.5Wo5.6-42.8 (Fe/Mn = 64 at.), orthopyroxene En60.8-77.1Wo1.2-4.1 (Fe/Mn = 69 at.), olivine Fo39.9-72.2 (Fe/Mn = 93 at.); ilmenite (MgO 5.5 wt%); FeNi metal (Ni 8.0 wt%; Co 0.6 wt%).

Average glassy matrix composition (wt%): SiO2 49.6; TiO2 1.76; Al2O3 17.4; Cr2O3 0.20; FeO 10.7; MnO 0.15; MgO 7.16; CaO 11.1; Na2O 0.88; K2O 0.76; P2O5 0.84.

DaG 1037 - Martain Meteorite: the missing Shergottite link from Mars!

Available only through us!

DaG 1037 is not only one of world's biggest martian meteorites it is also special because it is the missing Shergottite link from Mars!

The olivine is of different appearance in DaG 1037 and reveals that it was extremely heavy exposed to a major impact shock event on the Red Planet.

The numerous impact shock veins, Melt veins + melt pockets suggest that this specific rock material

was exact the zone on Mars that was hit by the asteroid that caused the material to leave Mars! It is very fresh material! glassy texture, large vesicles of up to 12mm with walls of black silica glass!

Although this material looks optically different than the DaG 476, 489, etc. (more glassy texture, large vesicles of up to 12mm with walls of black silica glass) this material is very likely paired with this olivine-phyric shergottites group.

Extensive searches over a long period of time by different groups in later years for this material in this area (DaG 476, 489,DaG735.... DaG 1037) didn't yield any further stone.

Achondrites

There are less than 30 meteorites known by chemical analysis to be pieces of the planet Mars which have been launched from the surface Mars by an asteroid impact.

The pieces then orbited the sun and hit the Earth as meteorites. The SNC's have always been the most desired meteorites for collectors and also some of the most valuable

Mars

Sale!Top quality- very fresh!

From which region on Mars did this meteorites come from?

DaG735

 This basaltic shergottite belongs to the Olivine-orthopyroxene-phyric Group. The DAG 735  is the first ( found already 1997) and such the first and "original" Mars meteorite found in the Sahara!
It is the most oriented of all known Mars Basalts found in the Sahara. It also is very fresh in appearance. Total mass was 588 g, 
Classification by: Frank Wlotzka, MPI and Matthias Kurz. Classification information: Porphyritic basalt with mm-sized olivines (normally zoned from Fa 28 to fa 37)
in a finer grained matrix of pigeonites (Fs 25-28) and feldspar glass (An 65).
A direct comparison with a PTS of DaG 476 shows that both Mars Meteorites are very similar and most probably paired.
An exception is that this Mars Meteorite does not contain terrestrial carbonate veins, it appears less weathered than DaG 476/489/670.
This meteorite is a Shergottite and is part of a group of meteorites called the SNC's standing for Shergottites, Nakhlites and Chassignites. 
This gemmy Mars Meteorite consists primarily of olivine, chromite, pigeonite , augite, orthopyroxene. It contains magmatic inclusions within the olivine.
These consist dominantly of pyroxenes and feldspathic glass.
The olivines have the range Fo 60-62 (phenocrystic olivine ranges from Fo 78 to Fo 59 (Ikeda).

Magmatic inclusions

Yukio Ikeda: Unusual inclusions occur within olivine megacrysts in the DaG735 olivine-phyric shergottite. They consist of pyroxene and chromite in a ratio of about 2:1, and show strange textures.

They are grouped into two types, symplectic and non-symplectic.

The pyroxenes in unusual inclusions are similar in composition to those in the main lithology of DaG735, but the chromites differ in TiO_2 contents

which are lower by half than those of chromites in the main lithology.

The symplectic textures indicate exsolution origin of the unusual inclusions within olivine megacrysts, and the reaction to produce the unusual inclusions suggests

 that the original olivine megacrysts may have contained some amounts of Cr^(+2) in addition to Cr^(+3), and the Cr^(+2) was oxidized

 to Cr^(+3) during the formation of the unusual inclusions. Whole Abstract from Y.Ikeda

The Mars Rover Spirit found in 2004 on one of its exploration raids on the Red Planets surface in several rocks (called Mazatzal, Humphrey and Adirondack) material

 composed of olivine, pigeonite and plagioclase in a way that looks almost identical to DaG 735

Studies of the thermal history of this rock (e.g. rapid cooling rate of the melt) suggests that this material originates from an extruded lava flow near the Marss surface.

Unique type of Mars Shergottite: Almost pure Maskelynite (plagioclase glass ) - Dho-378

  incredible meteorite discovery!

One fresh Mars Meteorite covered with almost 100% complete fresh black fusion crust was discovered on June 17th 2000.

It turned out to be one of the most interesting and unique meteorite discoveries ever.

Dho 378 is only one of four Calcium poor Martian Meteorites in the world (beside ALH84001, Chassigny, and NWA 998) . 

Due to the presence of titanomagnetite the Dhofar 378 belongs to the rare titanomagnetite-bearing basaltic shergottite group.

There is an extremely high possibilty that this glassy Martian rock will give us the possibility to get insight into intercrustal magmatic differentiation process on Mars

and give hints for potential mining (Ti) missions on Mars.

The high Fs content of the pyroxenes(Fs 40 to 93) and the high proportion of feldspar suggest that Dho 378 is a late Martian magmatic differentiate.

Among basaltic shergottites Dho 378 represents the most evolved Martian magmatic liquid composition.

Dho 378 experienced a 2 stage thermal history. A secondary melting at extremely high temperatures was followed by slow cooling (what recrystallization of various plagioclas segments seem to confirm).

Polished thin sections show that Dho 378 consists mainly of Maskelynite,, plagioclase glass, with minor minerals of hedenerbergite and ferroan clinopyroxenes (augite and pigeonite)  pyrox-ferroite, fayalite,

silica, titanomagnetite, ilmenite, sulfide, phosphate, and rhyolitic glass as the main minerals.

Studies on Dhofar 378 undertaken by J. PARK  and K. NAGAO, 1Laboratory for Earthquake Chemistry, Graduate School of Science, University of Tokyo, Hongo, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo 113-0033, Japan

proved that heavy fractionation occurred on Ne isotopic composition in Martian atmosphere.

Neon is highly enriched in DHO 378 compared to those of other shergottites.The trapped 20Ne is not enriched in the plagioclase glass
phase but in pyroxene-rich phase of this meteorite (J. PARK and K. NAGAO,2006 see
:

 NEW INSIGHTS ON MARTIAN ATMOSPHERIC NEON FROM MARTIAN METEORITE, DHOFAR 378: http://www.lpi.usra.edu/meetings/lpsc2006/pdf/1110.pdf)

In terms of mineralogy Dhofar 378 is more similar to LA 001/002 than to other members of shergottite groups.

CRYSTALLIZATION EXPERIMENT; IMPLICATIONS FOR THE CRYSTALLIZATION OF LOS ANGELES 001 AND DHO 378.

Similar to Los Angeles the Cr is very low. Dho 378 is the first shergottite with a positive Eu anomaly.

The amount of phosphates, mainly whitlockite, is only 1 % as deduced from the REE abundances. The host mineral of the REEs in all shergottites is whitlockite, which controls the bulk rock REE concentrations.

Whitlockite has a negative Eu anomaly. But, in the case of Shergotty, Zagami, and Los Angeles the absolute Eu content of whitlockite is high enough to compensate the positive Eu anomaly of maskelynite.

Only in Dhofar 378, with about 50 times more plagioclase glass than whitlockite, we observe a positive Eu anomaly.

Special thanks to Prof. Hiroshi Takeda, Chyba Univ., Japan et al for recognizing Dhofar 378 as true meteorite and proving its origin

to be from Mars. Note it was previously analyzed by otherwise excellent scientists by mistake as terrestrial lava Xenolithe (I will call no names!), as the material looks indeed intriguing.

  Martian meteorite (nakhlite) - NWA 998

Composed mainly of subhedral, olive-green, complexly-zoned subcalcic augite (Fs22Wo39) with subordinate yellow olivine (Fa64), orthopyroxene (Fs49Wo4), interstitial plagioclase, titanomagnetite, chlorapatite and pyrrhotite.

The overall texture is that of a hypabyssal, adcumulate igneous rock, and the apparent crystallization sequence is olivine, orthopyroxene, titanomagnetite, augite, apatite, plagioclase.

There is a weak preferred orientation of prismatic pyroxene crystals, many of which have very distinctive zoning, with cores of augite.

Lunar meteorite (feldspathic crystalline matrix breccia) -  Dho 489

 

4.27 billion years old!

 

- almost as old as Earth's Moon itself!

 

Available only through us!

A 34.4 g stone was found. A feldspathic fragmental breccia consisting of clasts of various lithologies embedded into a fine-grained crystalline matrix. Unlike known lunar meteorites, this lunar rock is a feldspathic crystalline matrix breccia. The most Mg-rich pyroxene is more Mg-rich than those of common lunar regolith breccias and similar to those of 60019, an Apollo 16 breccia containing poikilitic clasts.

Note: This material can only be sold as long as the very limited stock might last and it is almost 100% sold out!
