Abstract
The Bruderheim meteorite, a hypersthene chondrite, has been examined both petrographically and chemically. The minerals of the meteorite are olivine (Fo_(78)), hypersthene (En_(78)), plagioclase (Ab_(95)), apatite, merrillite, chromite, troilite, and metallic iron-nickel. Comparison of petrographic and chemical analyses shows that (1) pyroxene, troilite, and metallic iron-nickel are texturally related; (2) there is substantial CaO contained in the hypersthene; (3) there are important variations in samples the size of a thin section, and it is likely that there are also sampling errors on quantities of the size used for chemical analysis. The texture of the meteorite, including the principal chondrule types, is described.
