Angrite 01/14/2018

This beautiful achondrite meteorite just arrived in the Probe lab and we've identified it as a new ANGRITE! Angrites are a most unusual group of achondites of which only 15 or so are known. Angrites are interesting for many reasons, one of which is that they are the oldest igneous rocks known in the solar system, up to 4.563 billion years old, meaning they crystallized just 10million years or so after formation of the solar system.
