The exterior has black fusion crust with fractures, abundant inclusions/chondrules of various sizes and colors and some oxidation. The interior is a dark gray matrix with abundant large and small inclusions/chondrules of various colors. |
This section exhibits large chondrules (up to 3 mm) and CAIs in a dark matrix. Fine-grained sulfides occur in the matrix. The texture appears more compact, though the origin of the compaction is unclear. Olivines range from Fa0.4-29 and pyroxene is Fs1. The meteorite is an unequilibrated CV3 chondrite. |
