Scientific paper
The petrography, mineral chemistry, and opaque mineralogy of the Loop chondrite, a meteorite found in Gaines County (Texas) in 1962, are discussed. The investigation confirms Mason's (1975) classification of the meteorite as olivine hypersthene chondrite (L6) and proves that the Loop and the Ashmore are distinct chondrites. Tables setting forth representative analyses of silicates and chromite and of metal and troilite are included. It is found that in comparison with the chromite composition of L6 chondrites given by Bunch et al. (1967), the Loop is slightly more enriched in A12O3 and MgO and slightly depleted in Cr2O3.
