[meteorite-list] AD - NWA 6435 : "Ureilite-like" shiny Unbrecciated Diogenite with anomalously low REE !

[Fabien Kuntz]

Hello, 



a new diogenite added on my website today. First, better than a long story, a short video :

Its realy looks-like an ureilite, but is a unbrecciated diogenite, metamorphic structure. Classified by Tony Irving, the REE content (Rare Earth Element, J-A Barrat personnal communication) is realy realy low if you compare to the other diogenites ! 

Diogenites, no heaviest REE under 0.01ppm : http://wwmeteorites.com/Ventes/NWA%206435/Diogenites-EMORB.gif
NWA6435, no heaviest REE over 0.01ppm : http://wwmeteorites.com/Ventes/NWA%206435/REENWA6435.bmp


Hard to picture as you can imagine, because all the beauty of this rock is in motion, but I prepared, polished all the specimens for the best shiny star effect ! 

Enjoy :
