LOHAWAT METEORITE - A HOWARDITE

Lohawat Meteorite is a differentiated silicate rich aerolite of the hi gh calcium howardite type. Unquestionable magmatic signature is stampe d by ophitic, intersertal and spinifex texture, corona and vesicular s tructures, as seen in lithic fragment clasts. The simple mineralogy ha s been discussed in terms of the system olivine-clinopyroxene-plagiocl ase-silica. Varietal texture and compositional features suggest that t he meteorite has sampled terrains of distinctly different genetic hist ory.
