| Meteorite Type: | Diogenite |
Macroscopic Description: Kathleen McBride
The exterior of these diogenites has chocolate brown patches of fusion crust. The exposed interior has a rough texture and light green to white clasts. The interior is a light matrix, stained in areas with a washed out rusty color. Green clasts ranging in size from < 2 mm are visible.
Thin Section (,2) Description: Valerie Reynolds and Tim McCoy
The sections show a groundmass of coarse (up to 1.5 mm) comminuted pyroxene of composition of Fs23Wo2. The meteorites are diogenites and are compositionally similar to LAP 91900, with which they may be paired.
