| Thin Section
(,4) Description - Tim McCoy and Linda Welzenbach |
| The section exhibits a range of grain sizes, although boundaries between these regions are diffuse. The meteorite is heavily-shocked, commonly exhibiting mosaicism. Mineral compositions are homogeneous with orthopyroxene (Fs63Wo2), with lamellae of augite (Fs27Wo43) and plagioclase (An85-89Or0.5). The Fe/Mn ratio of the pyroxene is ~28. The meteorite is a eucrite. |
