| The exterior of these carbonaceous chondrites has 5-30% black, patchy fusion crust. The black interior has mm-sized light gray and white chondrules. Some rust is visible. |
| These meteorites were found within 2.5 km of each other and are so similar that a single description suffices. The sections exhibit large chondrules (up to 3 mm) and CAIs in a dark matrix. Olivines range from Fa1-11, with many Fa1-5, and pyroxenes from Fs0-9. The meteorites are CV3 chondrites. |
