Brachinite NWA 11756 (10.91 g) CO3 and absence of visible chondrulesNWA 11756 Exceptional large brachinite slice revealing asteroid interior material. This brachinite meteorite (NWA 11756) is a rare primitive achondrite, formed through partial melting processes inside early asteroids. Unlike ordinary meteorites, this specimen represents olivine rich material derived from the interior of a differentiated asteroid, offering insight into early planetary formation and internal planetary processes. Brachinites are among
