20331- Rare Titanite on Rutile after Ilmenite and with Microcline - Imilchil Mine Morocco Brachylophosaurus • Cretaceous of Algeria

• Cretaceous of Algeria

This specimen is 100% guaranteed to be a stony meteorite of the general class "chondrite" and almost certainly of the class "ordinary chondrite" and based on magnetic response is very high an "H" chondrite signifying high metal content with the other alternatives being H signifying high metal to LL signifying very low relative metal content

Mosasauridae)

Ecology: nektobenthic carnivore

Sometimes the local miners have to excavate long tunnels that follow the distribution of the fossiliferous layer

20331- Rare Titanite on Rutile after Ilmenite and with Microcline - Imilchil Mine Morocco Brachylophosaurus • Cretaceous of AlgeriaCharacteristically platy Ilmenite crystals with irregular contour and completely pseudomorphed by Rutile, coated by very sharp Titanite crystals that are bright, with very well defined faces and edges, and with a very apparent pleochroism that shows a yellow color under led light but is greenish with natural or neon light. The process of replacement of Ilmenite by Rutile seems very similar to that of other localities with similar geological conditions
