COLLECTION
Meteorite Name: NWA 5136
Location: Morocco, Africa
Classification: LL6 Ordinary Chondrite
Witnessed Fall: No
Date and Time: Found 2005
TKW: 223.2 grams
Remarks:
This interesting stone was originally classified as a cumulate eucrite, but something about the dark, rust-colored inclusions suggested that further investigation was merited. My good friend Scott Harris took another look at the specimen, and ultimately this mteorite was reclassified as an LL6. The softness of the material suggests it may have originated in the regolith of an extant crater on the amphoterite parent body.
