Sample No.:	LAP 031308
Location:	LaPaz Ice Field
Field No.:	16735
Dimensions (cm):	2.25x1.5x1.5
Weight (g):	8.673
Meteorite Type:	H Chondrite (Impact Melt)

Macroscopic Description: Kathleen McBride
This H chondrite has a rough brown interior which crumbles easily.

Thin Section (,2) Description: Tim McCoy and Valerie Reynolds
The meteorite exhibits an area with microcrystalline silicate matrix including rounded metal-sulfide blebs reaching 20 microns, as well as relict grains, chondrules and clasts reaching up to a few mm that are highly-shocked with local metal-sulfide redistribution. Mafic silicate compositions (Fa₁₉, Fs₁₇) indicate H chondrite parentage and texture suggests it is an impact melt breccia. Pairing with the LAP 031173 group is possible.
