Dhofar 125 Meteorite Thin Section
Dhofar 125 has the smallest mineral grains of known acapulcoites. The Meteorite Studies link below gives additional interesting facts, such as the fact that the acapulcoites have elemental ratio compositions identical to that of chondrites. It is also known that all acapulcoites have a narrow cosmic ray age of 4 – 7 million years, perhaps indicating a common ejection event from the parent object. Some acapulcoites contain relic chondrules — in this thin section of Dhofar 125 you can see what I think may be relic chondrules.
