The eucrites come from the Asteroid Vesta.
Petrography: (A. Irving and S. Kuehner, UWS) Fresh fragmental breccia composed mainly of crystal debris from several different basaltic eucrite and gabbroic eucrite protoliths (with some polymineralic clasts of same), plus sparse clasts of diogenite and diogenitic orthopyroxene. Minerals include exsolved pigeonite, orthopyroxene, clinopyroxene, calcic plagioclase, silica polymorph, ilmenite, troilite, chromite, and fayalite.
Geochemistry: Diogenitic orthopyroxene (Fs24.1Wo1.5; FeO/MnO = 34), orthopyroxene (Fs49.9Wo2.5; FeO/MnO = 31), clinopyroxene (Fs20.8-25.8Wo45.1-44.6; FeO/MnO = 32-35), host orthopyroxene (Fs61.6Wo1.8; FeO/MnO = 34), clinopyroxene exsolution lamellae (Fs21.6Wo43.8; FeO/MnO = 34), olivine (Fa92.7).
