Carbonaceous chondrite (CV3.0,red; S3; W0)
Find, 1961; 8.1 kg
A stony, carbonaceous chondrite was found as two individual masses (1.6 kg mass found in 1961/62 with a second 6.5 kg individual reported in 1970) having been plowed up during farming. The first segment found was placed under a fence until 1965. Described first as an unusual brecciated carbonaceous chondrite, Leoville is one of the larger CV (Vigarano-like) carbonaceous chondrites. CV meteorites are distinguished by large chondrules, large refractory inclusions and abundant matrix as well as by their oxygen isotope ratios. Leoville belongs to the reduced subgroup of CV meteorites [which also includes Axtell, Efremovka, and Vigarano]. For several decades Leovilleβs unusually diverse suite of inclusions have been a matter of continuing interest. Large CAIs (β€200Β΅m) with spinel, fassaite, anorthite, and spinel are common. While most of Leovilleβs inclusions are reduced, a few are oxidized inclusions, and one inclusion is marked by CM oxygen isotope rations. Presolar phases have also been detected. In addition, Leoville has also apparently been heated by strong preterrestrial shock (level S3). (vide infra)
Ellipsoidal deformation of the chondrules caused by the heating of the meteorite to a temperature of 1000 to 1200 K and then application of a shear force that elongated one axis of the previously spheroidal chondrules (impact-produced shock).
