Sample No.:	MIL 05155
Location:	Miller Range
Field No.:	18048
Dimensions (cm):	5.0x4.0x2.0
Weight (g):	53.508
Meteorite Type:	L Chondrite (Impact Melt)

Macroscopic Description: Kathleen McBride
Brown/black patches of fusion are on <5% of this meteorite's exterior. The interior matrix is coarse grained and tan to light green in color with visible olivine crystals.

Thin Section (,2) Description: Tim McCoy and Valerie Reynolds
The meteorite is paired with the MIL 05029 pairing group, the original description of which was: The meteorites consist of large (up to 4 mm) orthopyroxene grains with interstitial feldspar with both of these phases poikilitically enclosing 50-200 µm olivine grains. Minor metal and sulfide are present, with sulfide occasionally rimming metal. Silicates (olivine of Fa₂₅, orthopyroxene of Fs₂₁Wo₄, plagioclase of An₁₆Or₃) are compositionally within the range of L chondrites. The meteorites are likely L ordinary chondrite impact melt rocks and similar in some respects to PAT 91501 (Mittlefehldt and Lindstrom, MAPS, 36, 439).
