| Macroscopic Description - Cecilia Satterwhite | |
| The exterior is covered with fractured black fusion crust over 75% of its surface. Some of the surfaces are frothy and abundant chondrules/inclusions are visible in areas devoid of fusion crust. The meteorite has a pebbly texture. The interior matrix is a dark gray to black with abundant light colored inclusions/chondrules. Evaporites and moderate oxidation are present. | |
| Thin Section Description (,2) - Cari Corrigan, Linda Welzenbach, Nicole Lunning | |
| The section exhibits few large chondrules (up to 3 mm) and CAIs in a lighter colored matrix. Olivines range from Fa1-32. The meteorite is unequilibrated, and is probably a reduced CV3 chondrite. | |
