80% of the exterior is covered with black/brown fusion crust.
The interior is a rusty black, fine grained matrix with high metal content. |
The section consists dominantly of individual clasts containing shocked chondrules, as well as chondrule fragments. Clasts exhibit moderate shock effects. Metal sulfide melt textures are present, with most of the metal found within the veins between clasts. Veins are, for the most part, completely opaque. Olivine compositions are Fa24-29 and pyroxene is Fs20. The meteorite is an impact melt breccia of an L chondrite precursor. |
