Jdiriya 004 R3 #2 – 12,7 g
332,93 $
Jdiriya 004 is a rare and fresh rumuruti R3 chondrite weighing only 142 grams.
Magnetic susceptibility, chondrule diameters, mineral chemistry and texture suggest that it is an R3-4 breccia.
Only 10 meteorites of this type are classified to date.
The R chondrite group does not clearly belong to any of the major chondrite classes (ordinary, carbonaceous, enstatite); R chondrites have sub-solar Mg/Si and refractory/Si ratios, oxygen isotopic compositions that are above the terrestrial fractionation line and ordinary chondrites, and strongly oxidized mineralogy.
The first R chondrite, Carlisle Lakes, was found in Australia in 1977.
