Petrography, mineralogy, oxygen and chromium isotopic composition, reflectance spectrum, and density studies of Shidian are reported in this study. Clasts with different aqueous alteration degree, two type 1 clasts with nontypical CM petrography, and one metamorphic clast are observed in Shidian. Mineralogically, Shidian main body consists of phyllosilicates (\u223c70\u2009vol%), forsterite (\u223c13\u2009vol%), fayalitic olivine, carbonates, sulfide, high-Ca pyroxene, magnetite framboids, and Fe-Ni metal. The average electron microprobe analysis (EMPA) analytical totals of phyllosilicates are 84.07\u2009\u00b1\u20091.75\u2009wt%, with average FeO\/SiO2 of tochilinite\u2013cronstedtite intergrowths (TCIs) in different clasts ranging from 1.18 to 3.29. The bulk geochemical composition is characterized by flat rare earth element pattern, and by depletion of highly volatile elements. The whole rock oxygen isotopic composition is \u22120.51\u2009\u00b1\u20090.73\u2030, 5.44\u2009\u00b1\u20091.01\u2030, and \u22123.38\u2009\u00b1\u20090.20\u2030 for \u03b417O, \u03b418O, and \u039417O, respectively, with bulk chromium isotopic composition as \u03b554Cr = 1.00\u2009\u00b1\u20090.11. The grain density, bulk density, and porosity are 2.758\u2009\u00b1\u20090.008\u2009g\u2009cm\u22123, 2.500\u2009\u00b1\u20090.004\u2009g\u2009cm\u22123, and 9.37\u2009\u00b1\u20090.59%, respectively. The reflectance spectrum shows \u201cblue\u201d (negative) continuum slope across the visible and near-infrared range, with characteristic absorption features (such as 0.765, 0.923, and 1.160\u2009\u03bcm for phyllosilicates). These characteristics indicate that Shidian is an unheated, brecciated CM chondrite and may be an analog of asteroid Bennu.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
