{"title":"Missour 001 - Ureilite (Primitive Achondrite)","description":"\u003cp\u003eMissour 001 is a rare Ureilite found west of Outat el Haj in Morocco on 2 February 2021. Ureilites are unusual Achondrite meteorites, rich in olivine and pyroxene, and are thought to come from a partially differentiated parent body that experienced a complex history of heating, impact disruption, and rapid cooling. Missour 001 is officially classified as a Ureilite and was recovered as three brownish fragments without fusion crust.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMissour 001 specimens are described as containing olivine and pigeonite grains up to around 1.5 mm in size. Like many Ureilites, the meteorite lacks chondrules and instead records igneous and thermal processing on its parent body. Ureilites are also known for their carbon-bearing phases, which can include graphite or diamond in some members of the group, making them especially interesting among Achondrites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStudying Missour 001 provides insight into early asteroid differentiation, high-temperature mineral formation, and the unusual history of the Ureilite parent body. For collectors, it offers a recognised Moroccan Ureilite with recent recovery history, official classification, and the distinctive character of one of the more unusual Achondrite groups. Each specimen represents ancient asteroid material shaped by heat, impact, and rapid cooling in the early solar system.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/outerspacer.com\/collections\/missour-001-ureilite-achondrite.oembed","provider":"OuterSpacer Meteorites","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
