| Macroscopic Description - Mitchell Haller | |
| 40% of the exterior has black fusion crust with minor fractures. Areas without fusion crust are gray colored with yellow and white inclusions and chondrules. The interior is a dark gray matrix with yellow and white inclusions/chondrules. | |
| Thin Section Description (,2) - Cari Corrigan, Tim McCoy | |
| The section exhibits large chondrules (up to 2 mm), CAIs and AOAs in a dark matrix. Olivines range from Fa1-14, with most Fa1-2, and pyroxenes of Fs1. The meteorite is an unequilibrated carbonaceous chondrite, probably a CV3. | |
