| Meteorite name: |
NWA 2899 |
| Type: |
H-related impact-melt rock |
| Location: |
Sahara, Northwest Africa |
| Date of find: |
2004 |
| Tkw: |
11 g + one paired mass of 45 g |
| Specimen weight: |
3.124 g |
| Description: |
Slice, polished, 29 x 23 x 2.2 mm |
| Seperate entry from the Meteoritical Bulletin: |
History: A single stone of 11 g was found 2004 by an anonymous finder in the North African Saharan desert. Petrography: (A. Greshake, MNB) The stone is composed of small, mostly euhedral olivines (Fa6.1–23.9) embedded into a glassy groundmass. Most olivines show a pronounced compositional zoning with Mg-rich cores and Fe-rich rims or vice versa. Small spherical Fe,Ni sulfides are often found in the groundmass and Fe,Ni metal is present. Chondrules were not observed.
Geochemistry: Oxygen isotopes: (I. Franchi and R. C. Greenwood, OU) δ17O = +3.088, δ18O = +4.898, ∆17O = +0.541 (all ‰).
Classification: Ordinary chondrite (H-related impact-melt rock) with shock-related crystallized impact melt, W0/1.
Specimens: A 2.5 g type specimen and one polished thin section are on deposit at MNB. Stefan Ralew of Germany holds the main mass. |

| Meteorite name: |

| Type: |
L-related, impact-melt rock |
| Location: |
Sahara, Northwest Africa |
| Date of find: |
2003 |
| Tkw: |
1000 g |
| Specimen weight: |
53.789 g |
| Description: |
Slice, polished, 70 x 68 x 4 mm |
| Seperate entry from the Meteoritical Bulletin: |
History: An anonymous finder recovered several stones weighing 1000 g in total within the North African Sahara in 2003.
Petrography: (A. Greshake, MNB) Shows both Fe,Ni metal-poor and Fe,Ni metal-rich lithologies that both consist of small olivines, pyroxenes, and opaque phases embedded into a glassy Si,Al-rich groundmass. Ca-rich pyroxenes are rare. Olivine (Fa12.9–23.9) and pyroxene (Fs11.2–19.7Wo1.1–2.7) are often compositionally zoned and sometimes pyroxene is overgrown by olivine. No chondrules are observed.
Geochemistry: Oxygen isotopes: (I. Franchi and R. C. Greenwood, OU) Metal-poor lithology: δ17O = +3.24, δ18O = +4.095, ∆17O = +1.106 (all ‰). Metal-rich lithology: δ17O = +3.452, δ18O = +4.505, ∆17O = +1.109 (all ‰).Classification: Ordinary chondrite (L-related, impact-melt rock); shock-related crystallized impact melt, W1/2.
Specimens: A 22.7 g type specimen and one polished thin section are on deposit at MNB. Stefan Ralew of Germany holds the main mass.
