NWA 4415 AND 4416: Two new enstatite chondrites from northwest Africa
Recommended from our members
A new CH carbonaceous chondrite from Acfer, Algeria
A single stone weighing 1456 g was found in November 2002 in the Acfer area, Algeria. Oxygen isotope, chondrules-matrix ratio as well as other petrographic features point to a classification as CH carbonaceous chondrite

A new CK carbonaceous chondrite from Hammada Al Hamra, Libya
A single stone weighing 198 g was found in 2001 in the Hammada al Hamra region of Libya. Petrographic features (mean chondrules dimensions, coarse grained matrix and presence of AOIs and CAIs) point to a classification as CK carbonaceous chondrite

A new CO carbonaceous chondrite from Acfer, Algeria
Many small fragments, totally weighing 118 g were found in the Acfer area by an Italian dealer. Chondrules size and types (predominance of granular olivine type), occurrence of twinned clinoenstatite and absence of plagioclase suggested a classification as CO carbonaceous chondrite

Textural and minerochemical features of NWA 1807 and 2180, two new CV3 chondrites from northwest Africa
A textural and minerochemical study has been performed on NWA 1807 and 2180 chondrites in order to determine sizes and typologies of chondrules, relative abundances of mineral phases, compositions of main phases and bulk oxygen isotope composition
