NWA 7807, type-3 chondrite

This is a very cool meteorite originally sold to us as a pairing with NWA 801, a CR2.  Two of the stones that arrived were NWA 801, and these three stones are clearly something else.  They’re no Calcalong Creek, but they do exhibit chondrules that suggest a petrographic subtype lower than 3.5.  Some dark carbonaceous inclusions are visible on sand-blasted sides.

The long, finger-shaped stone has been fixed together using an easy-to-remove adhesive.  The three fragments were sitting in different orientations on the ground and have each weathered a little differently. DSCN5515 DSCN5516 DSCN5518
