| Macroscopic Description - Cecilia Satterwhite | |
| This fractured carbonaceous chondrite has brown/black fusion crust covering 95% of its exterior surface. Evaporites and oxidation are visible. The interior is black with oxidation and some rusty areas. White specks and some metal are visible. | |
| Thin Section Description (,2) - Tim McCoy, Valerie Reynolds | |
| The meteorite is likely paired with the MIL 03377 pairing group, the original description of which was: 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 Fa0-55, with a continuous range of intermediate compositions and a slight peak at Fa1-5. Pyroxene is Fs1-2. The meteorites are CO3 chondrites. | |
