Scientific paper

The texture and mineralogy of the Pipliya meteorite are reported. The meteorite is a brecciated eucrite and is distinctive because of its high proportion of lithic clasts compared to the amount of brecciate matrix and because lithology A (fine-grained and containing pyroxenes similar in composition to those in 'main group' eucrites) and lithology B (similar to A in mineralogy but medium-grained) are similar in pyroxene mineralogy but different in texture and grain size. The texture of the matrix material suggests that the breccia may have undergone late stage metamorphism.
