(,2) Description - Cari Corrigan, Tim McCoy and Linda Welzenbach |
| This meteorite is dominated by fine-grained basaltic material which occurs as both the host and clasts within this meteorite. Occasional coarser-grained clasts, with grain sizes up to 1 mm, are observed. Mineral compositions are homogeneous with orthopyroxene (Fs63Wo2), with lamellae of augite (Fs27Wo42), and plagioclase (An89Or1). The Fe/Mn ratio of the pyroxene is ~29. The meteorite is a brecciated eucrite. |
