NWA 1955

NWA 1955, Morocco
Found 2002
H/L3-4, 14g
This rare meteorite is currently the only one in the world classified as an H/L3-4. It is a breccia composed of fragments of both type 3 and type 4 material and the chemistry (iron content of the olivine and pyroxine, etc.), which usually gives a distinct grouping, was odd enough to not give a certain H or L typing to this strange specimen.
