The exterior of this meteorite is a dull brown color with no fusion crust. The interior of this ordinary chondrite is black, friable and has some rust.

Thin Section (,2) Description: Valerie Reynolds and Tim McCoy
The meteorite exhibits a relatively coarse (50-100 micron grain size), equigranular silicate matrix including rounded to irregular, metal-sulfide blebs reaching 0.5 mm and vesicles reaching 0.5 mm. Mafic silicate compositions (Fa₁₇, Fs₁₆) indicate H chondrite parentage and texture suggests it is an impact melt.
