Macroscopic Description - Cecilia Satterwhite | |
The exterior has some fractured patches of black fusion crust. Areas without fusion crust show a matrix that is dark gray to black with evaporites and oxidation. Abundant chondrules/inclusions are visible and fractures penetrate the surface. The interior is a dark gray to black matrix with greenish color in areas; abundant inclusions/chondrules and moderate weathering. | |
Thin Section Description (,2) - Cari Corrigan, Linda Welzenbach, Nicole Lunning | |
This section exhibits large sporadically altered chondrules (up to 3 mm) and CAIs in a slightly altered matrix. Olivines range from Fa0-13. The meteorite is unequilibrated, probably a CV3 chondrite. | |
Reclassification Notes (AMN 46,1) | |
Reclassification and pairing based on Raman spectroscopy (petrologic type 3.6), and on Ni content of metal and sulfide and magnetic susceptibility (Reduced). Details are reported in Righter et al. (2022); doi: 10.1111/maps.13932. |
