98% of the exterior is covered with pitted brown/black fusion crust with oxidation haloes. The interior is a dark gray matrix with metal and some lighter chondrules/inclusions. Some areas are a rusty brown with thick dark black veins running through the center. |
The section consists of shocked chondrules and chondrule fragments. Chondrules and fragments show moderate shock effects including minor mosaicism. A 6mm wide melt vein dominates the section with metal and sulfide occurring as stringers within the vein. The vein is completely opaque. Olivine compositions are Fa18-19 and pyroxene is Fs15-16. The meteorite is an H chondrite impact melt. |
