Macroscopic Description: Kathleen McBride
The exterior has black fusion crust on 25% of its surface. The interior has a lumpy black matrix with some evaporites and hard to distinguish chondrules.
Thin Section (,2) Description: Tim McCoy
The section consists of a few small chondrules (up to 0.5 mm) that have been completely replaced by phyllosilicate set in an Fe-rich serpentine matrix. No isolated mineral grains or CAIs are apparent; sulfide and carbonate grains are present. The section exhibits a strong fabric formed by the alignment of elongated remnant chondrules. Unaltered olivine or pyroxene grains of sufficient size for microprobe analyses were not found. This meteorite is a CM1 Chondrite.
