A |
The exterior has brown/black fusion crust with some oxidation and some chondrules/inclusions visible. The interior is dark gray to black with abundant rusty inclusions, chondrules and metal. |
The section exhibits large chondrules (up to 3 mm) and CAIs in a dark, weathered matrix. Olivines range from Fa0-3 and Fs1-8. The meteorite is an unequilibrated CV3 chondrite. |
