Northwest Africa 8007 (NWA 8007) is an Ordinary chondrite (L3.2) discovered in 2013. It has a dark brown weathered exterior and a sawn surface that exposes densely packed chondrules of varying sizes. Microprobe examination of a polished mount reveals numerous unequilibrated chondrules, mainly porphyritic, with an apparent mean diameter. It also contains abundant opaque matrix. Most chondrules have glass or mesostasis, and includes aluminous augite, Fe,Ni-metal, and sulfide.
About Stony Meteorites:
Stony meteorites are the most common meteorites, making up the majority of the meteorites discovered here on Earth. They are divided into two groups: chondrites, which are some of the oldest primitive material in our entire solar system originating from large asteroids, and achondrites, which include meteorites that derived from our moon and Mars.
*Note - Lunar and Martian-originated meteorites will always be indicated as such on the listing. Any other meteorite listed will have originated from an asteroid.
