Chondrite meteorite C013 / 7777
Chondrite meteorite. Meteorite GRO95505 that was found in the Grosvenor Mountains, Antarctica. The exterior of this ordinary chondrite is covered with black fractured fusion crust on most of its surfaces. Areas without fusion crust are yellow brown and show heavy oxidation. Many inclusions and chondrules (round grains) are visible. It is composed mainly of granular and porphyritic olivine and olivine-pyroxene

This print showcases the remarkable Chondrite meteorite C013 / 7777, a celestial rock that originated from the Grosvenor Mountains in Antarctica. The exterior of this ordinary chondrite is adorned with a striking black fractured fusion crust, which covers most of its surfaces. However, areas devoid of fusion crust exhibit a mesmerizing yellow-brown hue and display signs of heavy oxidation. Upon closer inspection, one can observe numerous inclusions and chondrules - round grains that add to the meteorite's allure. Composed primarily of granular and porphyritic olivine along with olivine-pyroxene, this extraterrestrial specimen offers valuable insights into space geology and astronomical phenomena. The weathered appearance of this Antarctic-recovered sample tells an intriguing story about its journey through space. Its patchy internal structure unveils secrets about its mineralogical composition while providing invaluable data for planetary science research. This stunning still life photograph not only captures the essence of this extraordinary mineral but also highlights the significance of astrogeological studies conducted by NASA. It serves as a testament to humanity's relentless pursuit to unravel the mysteries hidden within our universe.
