Merrillite, a whitlockite-group mineral in Yamato-75 chondrites
Various sizes of merrillite of whitlockite-group minerals (from 20 to 750μm in length) occur as irregularly-shaped grains in Yamato-75 chondrites. The merrillite in the Yamato-75135,93 chondrite coexists with olivine, pyroxene, plagioclase, chromite and/or metal phases in the matrix. This calcium ma...
