074 has 50% rough brown/black fusion crust with polygonal fractures. 080 only has a small patch of black fusion crust. The interior of each meteorite has a black matrix with white and charcoal gray clasts and light colored chondrules. Minor weathering is visible. |
The sections exhibit large chondrules (up to 3 mm) and CAIs in a dark matrix. Olivines range from Fa0-24 and pyroxenes from Fs0-2. The meteorites are CV3 chondrites. |
Reclassification and pairing based on Raman spectroscopy (petrologic type 3.6), and on Ni content of metal and sulfide and magnetic susceptibility (Oxidized B). Details are reported in Righter et al. (2022); doi: 10.1111/maps.13932. |
