Unusual looking Nakhlite...looks more like a Chassignite at first....wonderful find.

What an incredible new Martian! They are always to varied and interesting, and from Argentina no less.
Great share, I just saw it come up on the MetBull Database the other day. Awesome!

It is a nakhlite, which are darker than shergottites. Also, certain polishing methods can make it look much darker than a fresh cut would. To me it looks an earth rock on its way to being serpentinite. Really NICE meteorite by the way!!! |

That's so black, my first guess would NOT have been Martian, but some flavor of CC. |
