L3.1
Found April 26, 2000
19° 13.7' N., 55° 10.8' E.
Seventeen fragments of this highly unequilibrated chondrite, totaling 565 g, were found in the desert of Oman. Extended searches of the area produced no additional stones. Based on TL sensitivity data, this chondrite was assigned to subtype 3.1. Thin section studies have resolved an abundance of large, highly fractured chondrules of types RP, PO, and BO.
This meteorite has a shock stage of S3 and is highly weathered to a grade of W3. The specimen of JaH 026 pictured above is a 0.58 g partial end section. Shown below are several fragments from this find.
