Mesosiderites are brecciated rocks containing silicate and metallic components, the silicates are mainly fragments of igneous rocks.
Writeup from MB 112:
Northwest Africa 15171 (NWA 15171)
Adrar, Algeria
Purchased: 2022
Classification: Mesosiderite
History: Bought by Jean Redelsperger from Mohamed Elguirah in 2022.
Physical characteristics: Many brown ireggular stones without fusion crust.
Petrography: (J.Gattacceca, CEREGE) The rock contains similar abundances of silicate minerals (pyroxene, and plagioclase), and metal and its weathering products. Silicate grain size is about 200 µm. Plagioclase and low-Ca pyroene dominate over Ca-pyroxene. Fe,Ni metal and troilite have been mostly replaced by terrestrial weathering products.

Trinitite is a type of glass formed during the first nuclear test, known as Trinity, which took place in Alamogordo, New Mexico, on July 16, 1945.
Trinitite is formed by the vitrification of desert sand mixed with various components of the structure on which the bomb rested, as well as the bomb itself. Recently, researchers discovered that a piece of red trinitite had taken the form of a quasicrystal.
First discovered in the laboratory in the 1980s, quasicrystals also occur in nature, particularly in meteorites.
It should be noted that trinitite is not harmful to health.
