The exterior is pitted, and has brown/black patches of fusion crust. The interior has dark gray to black matrix with oxidation and rusty areas. Some small weathered inclusions/chondrules are visible. |
The section exhibits large chondrules (up to 2 mm) and CAIs in a dark matrix. Section is moderately weathered. Olivines range from Fa0-26, and pyroxenes from Fs1. The meteorite is an unequilibrated carbonaceous chondrite, probably a CV3. |
Reclassification and pairing based on Raman spectroscopy (petrologic type 3.6), and on Ni content of metal and sulfide and magnetic susceptibility (Reduced). Details are reported in Righter et al. (2022); doi: 10.1111/maps.13932. |
