Exterior has dark brown-gray fusion crust that is shiny on one side and rough on the other. Exposed interior is light gray with black and white flecks <0.25 mm. Fresh interior is light gray with small black (<0.25 mm) inclusions and slightly larger (up to 0.5 mm) white inclusions. |
These two brecciated sections consist of fine to medium grained ophitic basalts with apparent shock darkening as veins and patches. Modest iron oxide staining exists in both sections. One 6 mm (max dimension) clast in DOM 18291 exhibits a fine grained, granular texture. Pyroxenes are Fs26-60Wo2-44 and feldspars are An82-86Or1. These two meteorites are similar enough to consider pairing and are eucrites. |
