Black/brown fusion crust covers 70% of the exterior surface, one surface is frothy. Areas without fusion crust are rusty brown. The interior is a gray matrix with heavy oxidation and rust in some areas. |
The section consists of a few relict chondrules in a matrix of finer-grained silicates, sulfides and magnetite. The meteorite is only slightly weathered. Silicates are homogeneous. Olivine is Fa36, clinopyroxene at Fs10Wo50. The meteorite appears to be a CK6 chondrite. |
