65% of the exterior has black shiny fusion crust. Some white evaporites are visible on the exterior. Exposed areas are gray with black, gray, white and beige inclusions. Some fractures penetrate the surface. The gray matrix has black, white and beige inclusions with white and dark gray speckled clasts present. |
This meteorite is dominated by fine-grained (~1 mm average grain size) basaltic material which occurs as both the host and clasts. Occasional coarser-grained clasts, with grain sizes up to 4 mm are observed. Pyroxene compositions are Fs25-60Wo3-38. Plagioclase compositions are (An90Or0.5) and Fe/Mn ratio of pyroxene of ~30. The meteorite is a brecciated eucrite. |
