NWA 14004 – CV3 Slice 4.44 G CR2 and barred olivine (BO)

and barred olivine (BO)

This beautifully preserved example offers both aesthetic appeal and scientific significance

Eucrites are pieces of differentiated planetary crust

These are all set within a recrystallized melt matrix rich in zoned pyroxene and feldspar laths

making them particularly important for understanding the diversity of materials in the early Solar System

NWA 14004 – CV3 Slice 4.44 G CR2 and barred olivine (BO)NWA 14004 CV3 Carbonaceous Chondrite Slice This NWA 14004 meteorite slice is a rare CV3 carbonaceous chondrite, one of the most primitive meteorites known. CV3 chondrites contain millimeter sized chondrules and CAIs, the oldest solid materials formed in our solar system over 4. 5 billion years ago. Recovered in Morocco in 2020, NWA 14004 shows a preserved fusion crust, fine grained matrix, and striking textures that make it both a scientific specimen
