Approved 27 Jul 2019 Northwest Africa 12416 (NWA 12416)(Northwest Africa)Purchased: 2018 JulClassification: Carbonaceous chondrite (C3, ungrouped)History: The first batch of this material was purchased by Adam Aaronson in July 2018 in Temara, Morocco; subsequently additional material was purchased from the same Moroccan source by Mark Lyon and others.Physical characteristics: The material consists of numerous small black, friable stones, some completely fusion crusted (total weight 875 g).Petrography: Granular chondrules (apparent diameter 350±210 µm, N = 15) together with sparse mineral fragments and AOA (but no identifiable CAI or related mineral grains) are set in very fine grained matrix (~50 vol.%, black in thin section) containing minor kamacite and pentlandite. No phyllosilicates were detectable by X-ray diffraction.Classification: Carbonaceous chondrite (ungrouped Type 3). Oxygen isotope compositions plot at more negative Δ17O values than for CV, CK and most CM chondrites, and the absence of phyllosilicates excludes affinity to typical CM2 chondrites.
