| Thin Section
(,2) Description - Cari Corrigan, Tim McCoy and Linda Welzenbach |
| This section consists of fragmented pyroxene and plagioclase grains set in a clastic, metal-rich matrix. Grains reach up to several mm in size. Pyroxene is relatively homogeneous (Fs28-35Wo2-6; Fe/Mn~30) and plagioclase is An90-95Or1. The meteorite is probably a silicate clast from a mesosiderite. |
