| Sample No.: | MIL 05082 |
| Location: | Miller Range |
| Field No.: | 18110 |
| Dimensions (cm): | 2.5x1.75x2.25 |
| Weight (g): | 11.980 |
| Meteorite Type: | CB Chondrite |
Macroscopic Description: Kathleen McBride
The exterior has 10% brown/black fusion crust. The black and white crystalline matrix has large 3-7 mm sized chondrules, rusty and gray in color.
Thin Section (,2) Description: Tim McCoy
The section consists of subequal amounts of metal and sulfide. Metal occurs as rounded particles up to 4 mm in diameter. Chondrules and chondrules fragments up to 0.5 mm are dominated by radiating pyroxene textures with olivine present. Silicates are magnesian (Fa1-3, Fs1-3). The meteorite is similar to the bencubbinite/CB chondrites and resembles Gujba in some respects (Weisberg et al., 2002, LPSC XXXIII, #1551).
