| Macroscopic Description - Rachel Funk | |
| Brown fusion crust with red/orange rust covers 50% of the exterior of this meteorite. The interior is a black matrix with red/orange rust and metal throughout. | |
| Thin Section Description (,2) - Cari Corrigan, Tim McCoy | |
| The section exhibits numerous small, well-defined chondrules up to 1.5 mm in a black matrix of fine-grained silicates, metal and troilite. Polysynthetically twinned pyroxene is abundant. The meteorite is moderately weathered. Olivine is Fa15, pyroxene is Fs5-14. The meteorite is a low FeO chondrite of type 4 (Russell et al., MAPS 1998). The meteorite is similar to Willaroy and Suwahib (Buwah). | |
