50% black fusion crust with weathered brown areas are present on the exterior. The interior is a dark gray to black matrix with some oxidation scattered and small white/weathered specks. Similar to MIL 15254 |
The sections exhibit large chondrules (up to 3 mm) and CAIs in a dark matrix. Olivines range from Fa0-52, and pyroxenes from Fs1-15. The paired meteorites are moderately weathered, unequilibrated, CV3 carbonaceous chondrites. |
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. |
