One of nine approved CB carbonaceous chondrites

Denader 004 belongs to a group with only nine approved members in the Meteoritical Bulletin. It is a metal-rich carbonaceous chondrite of the Bencubbin type, built from kamacite metal nodules set in a silicate groundmass of barred and radial chondrules. This specimen is a 3.12 gram endcut, sliced to open the full interior.

The cut face is studded with rounded metal nodules, each ringed by a thin iron hydroxide rim, against a pale gray brecciated matrix flecked with chondrule and mineral fragments. The metal runs through a weathering gradient from silvery to dark to orange limonite, a record of the time the stone spent in the Malian desert before recovery.

What sets this piece apart inside an already small group is the classification itself. A. Greshake could not place Denader 004 in either established CB subgroup. Its silicate fraction, the size of its chondrules, and a fine grained matrix sit it between CBa and CBb, leaving it classified simply as CB.

Structure and features

The cut and polished face presents both halves of the CB texture. Kamacite metal nodules, rounded to slightly elongated and averaging close to 2.5 millimeters across, make up roughly 40 percent of the surface and take a bright reflective polish. The remaining 60 percent is a gray silicate groundmass built from radial and finely barred chondrules up to 4 millimeters wide, broken chondrule and mineral fragments, and a fine grained matrix. Many of the metal nodules carry a thin brown iron hydroxide rim from the meteorite's time in the desert, and small rounded voids mark places where loose metal spheres weathered out. As an endcut, the piece keeps one fully prepared face for viewing while the reverse holds its natural exterior.

Discovery and provenance

Denader 004 was found during a search in Mali in 2025 and purchased from a local dealer near Gao. It was classified by A. Greshake at the Museum für Naturkunde in Berlin and published in the Meteoritical Bulletin, no. 115. The type specimen is held at the Museum für Naturkunde, with the main mass recorded to Jared Collins. The meteorite is listed as a find with low shock and moderate weathering.

Scientific context

CB chondrites, named for Bencubbin, are a metal-rich branch of the carbonaceous chondrites. Their metal and chondrules are interpreted to have formed from a vapor and melt plume thrown up by a high energy collision between early planetary bodies, rather than by the slow condensation that produced most chondrites. That origin is why CB material is dominated by metal nodules and by chondrules with radial and barred textures. The Meteoritical Bulletin entry classifies Denader 004 as CB but does not place it in either established subgroup: a silicate abundance near 60 percent, chondrules reaching 4 millimeters, the presence of a fine grained matrix, and the occurrence of zoned olivine together with ferroan pyroxene do not allow an unambiguous assignment to CBa or CBb. The dominant silicates are enstatite and forsterite, and the metal is a nickel bearing kamacite carrying chromium bearing troilite inclusions.

Frequently asked questions

What is a CB chondrite?
It is a metal-rich carbonaceous chondrite of the Bencubbin type, defined by abundant metal nodules and chondrules. CB chondrites are among the least common carbonaceous groups, with only nine officially classified to date.

Why is Denader 004 not labeled CBa or CBb?
The Meteoritical Bulletin notes that its high silicate content, large chondrules, fine grained matrix, and zoned olivine plus ferroan pyroxene do not fit cleanly into either recognized subgroup, so it is classified as CB without a subgroup.

Will the metal respond to a magnet?
Yes. The nodules are kamacite, a nickel iron metal, so the piece is strongly magnetic.

How should the endcut be stored and handled?
Handle it with clean gloves and keep it in a dry environment. Because it is a moderately weathered desert find that contains metal, low humidity helps protect the cut face and limits further rust.

Why this matters to a collection

CB chondrites record a violent moment in the early solar system, preserving metal and silicate that came together in an impact plume around 4.56 billion years ago. With only nine names classified as CB, the group is seldom offered, and a prepared endcut shows both a full polished face and the natural exterior of the stone. This specimen is offered by Treasure Coast Meteorite Co., IMCA Member #3323.

Lightweight bur actually hydrating
Style: 3.38 Fl Oz (Non SPF), Style: 3.38 Fl Oz (Non SPF)
I’ve tried so many moisturizers that either felt greasy, heavy, or just sat on top of my skin, but this La Roche-Posay moisturizer honestly surprised me. It’s super lightweight, absorbs quickly, and leaves my skin feeling soft and hydrated without feeling oily. My face feels smooth and refreshed after using it instead of sticky or coated. It layers really well and doesn’t make my skin feel overloaded. Definitely one of the best moisturizers I’ve used so far.

It lathers up perfectly and rinses off clean without that weird "filmy" feeling some cheap soaps have. The Perfect Size: The 7.5 fl oz bottles are the ideal "goldilocks" size. They fit on every sink—from the tiny powder room to the cluttered kitchen counter—without taking up too much space. Bulk Convenience: Buying the 6-pack means I’m not constantly adding soap to my grocery list. I keep one at every sink and have backups ready in the pantry.

This Amazon Basics soap does the job perfectly, smells great, and saves you a ton of money over time. It’s a boring purchase that makes life so much easier. Final Verdict: 10/10. Great lather, great scent, and even better price. I’m officially a convert!

Good price
Size: 50 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Scent: Gentle & Mild
Most Amazon basics items are of decent quality and this is no exception. Nothing fancy just a decent hand soap with typical viscosity that will work in just about any dispenser including automatic dispensers. Most importantly it does a good job cleaning the hands without leaving your hands all sticky and gooey after washing. Yeah. That really is a thing. I've used hand soaps that after rinsing and drying your left with "gheco hands" like you can pick up a penny with your knuckle. No chemical or overpowering odor. One odd thing. The original order came in a box that looked like the Amazon loader threw it into the back of the van from about 50 feet away .... The bottles cap was destroyed and the soap had leaked into the box. Amazon quickly replaced the item with a new bottle no charge and didn't expect me to return the damaged bottle of course. Thing is the second box came in the same condition. Looked like the punter for the Ravens drop kicked it from the 30 into the back of the truck. Luckily the bottle was undamaged this time.
