NWA 14869 Diogenite melt breccia 3.13 g Martian Mesosiderites are rare stony-iron meteoritesNWA 14869 Diogenite melt breccia NWA 14869 is a fascinating HED achondrite belonging to the Diogenite melt breccia group. This rare meteorite was purchased in Talsint, Morocco, in January 2022 and classified by A. Greshake (MNB). The meteorite consists of many small light brownish fragments, some showing traces of fusion crust. Its texture reveals an achondritic melt breccia made up of zoned low Ca pyroxene crystals reaching up to 3 mm, with lesser
