[meteorite-list] [AD]: 3 new and unique meteorites (H7, C03.0, shock melt eucrite)

[Mendy Ouzillou]

I hope everyone had a great weekend!

Though I was not able to attend, I am sure that the Denver show held many surprises and wonderful specimens. For those of you that went, perhaps you thought you had seen it all. Well, good news for everyone regardless of whether you attended the show or not, some very cool meteorites are coming your way ...

1) NWA 7875: a visually striking, not so ordinary H7 chondrite. With a weathering grade of W2, this stone is much fresher than most other H7 and has very unique metal blebs strewn throughout the crystallized matrix.

2) NWA 7892: one of only 3 non-Antarctic CO3.0. Estimated weathering of W1 to W2, this stone features a beautiful alligator crust and small chondrules and CAI embedded within the matrix.

3) NWA 7989 (provisional): new shock melt eucrite is a feast for the eyes. It features a green, tan, yellow, and orange regions that make this stone one of the prettiest eucrites I've seen in a while (could be I'm just partial to my own children).

4) NWA 7874: a fine grained, equilibrated eucrite. This stone is likely paired to NWA 7465 but available in larger slices and these slices are on SALE.
