Exterior is 90% covered with a very dark brown fusion crust that is rough and fractured with small areas of frothy texture and some light colored spots. Exposed interior is very dark grey-black with small light colored spots. Fresh interior is very dark grey-black with small light grey-brown inclusions <1mm. |
The sections consist of abundant small (up to 1 mm) chondrules, chondrule fragments and mineral grains in a dark matrix. Metal and sulfide occur within and rimming the chondrules. Olivine ranges in composition from Fa1-45. Three pyroxene analyses range from Fs1-7. The meteorites are CO3 chondrites. |
