The section consists of an aggregate of large (up to 1 mm) olivine and pigeonite grains. Individual olivine grains are rimmed by carbon-rich material containing traces of metal. Metal forms veins between olivines. Olivine has cores of Fa7 with rims reduced to Fa0. Pigeonite compositions are Fs4Wo0. The meteorite is a ureilite. |
