| Macroscopic Description - Cecilia Satterwhite, Tim McCoy | |
| 50% of the exterior surface has black fusion crust, areas without fusion crust is weathered brown. The meteorite exhibits a black interior with a few large white inclusions. | |
| Thin Section Description (,2) - Cari Corrigan, Tim McCoy, Nicole Lunning | |
| This very small, extensively altered meteorite exhibits large chondrules and CAIs in a dark matrix. Olivines range from Fa1-2 and a pyroxene is Fs6. The meteorite is a carbonaceous chondrite, probably a CV3, although the small size and the extensive terrestrial alteration make the classification uncertain. | |
