| Abstract: | Abstract— Dengli is a highly weathered 243.5-g chondrite that was found in 1976 in the Karakoom desert, Turkmenia. The meteorite contains olivine, high-Ca and low-Ca twinned pyroxenes, plagioclase, merrillite, cryptocrystalline material, and opaque minerals: metallic Fe, Ni, troilite, chromite. Based on the texture and the compositions of olivine (Fa19.6, n = 52, C.V. = 19.3) and low-Ca pyroxene (Fs18.2, n = 27, C.V. = 17.0), Dengli is classified as an H3.8 breccia. |
