The exterior has pitted brown/black fusion crust, with oxidation haloes and fractures. Areas without fusion crust have a pebbly texture and are brown/black in color. The interior is a rusty brown with heavy metal and a coarse grained texture. |
The sections consist of an aggregate of large olivine and pyroxene grains up to 3.5 mm across. Individual olivine grains are rimmed by carbon-rich material containing traces of metal. Olivines have cores of Fa24, with rims reduced to Fa4. Pigeonite is Fs19Wo12. Subcalcic augite is Fs13Wo33. The meteorites are ureilites and are likely paired. |
