Rocks from Space Picture of the Day - March 29, 2010
NWA 6168
Provisional classification result: Brecciated L3 (S2 W1)
Total Known Mass: 614g
The stone might be paired to NWA’s 5667 and/or 5701.
This 292g main mass shows incredibly fresh primary and secondary fusion crust, and also a surface that must have been fractured during flight, just before the retardation point, as it shows spatters of fused material sticking to it.
