NWA 14004 – CV3 Slice 11.92 GNWA 14004 CV3 Carbonaceous Chondrite Slice This NWA 14004 meteorite slice is a rare CV3 carbonaceous chondrite, one of the most primitive meteorites known. CV3 chondrites contain millimeter sized chondrules and CAIs, the oldest solid materials formed in our solar system over 4. 5 billion years ago. Recovered in Morocco in 2020, NWA 14004 shows a preserved fusion crust, fine grained matrix, and striking textures that make it both a scientific specimen

The polished surface reveals the characteristic brecciated mesosiderite structure where silicate clasts are embedded within a metallic matrix
