Sample No.:	LAP 04672; LAP 04689
Location:	LaPaz Ice Field
Field No.:	17326; 17633
Dimensions (cm):	2.0 x 1.5 x 0.75; 2.0 x 2.0 x 1.5
Weight (g):	3.655; 11.242
Meteorite Type:	H5 chondrite

Macroscopic Description: Kathleen McBride
The exteriors vary from brown/black to brown. The interiors are brittle rusty brown with high metal and fine grained dark gray matrix.

 

Thin Section (,2) Description: Tim McCoy, Lauren LaCroix and Linda Welzenbach
These meteorites are melt-veined H5 chondrites (Fa₁₉, Fs₁₇) with veins of fine-grained shock melt with small blebs of metal and sulfide. A relationship with the LAP 02240 group is possible, if all of these meteorites represent different proportions of matrix and melt in an impact-melt breccia.
