Exterior is brown and rusty with no fusion crust. The weathered interior has sparse chondrules and inclusions. |
The section exhibits large chondrules (up to 3 mm) and CAIs in a dark matrix. Olivines range from Fa1-28, with most Fa1-5, and pyroxene of Fs1. The meteorites are unequilibrated carbonaceous chondrites, probably CV3 chondrites. |
