The exteriors range from brown with fractures to brown with iridescent oxidation haloes. The rust colored, non-descript interiors are brittle and have a high metal content. |
These meteorites consist of a fine-grained, melt-textured matrix of olivine (Fa19) and pyroxene (Fs17) with irregular blebs of metal with rimming sulfide. They are H chondrite impact melts and likely paired with LAP 02240. |
