Black shiny fusion crust covers 85% of the exterior surface. The interior is a light gray and white matrix with dark and light inclusions visible. |
This meteorite is dominated by course-grained (up to 2 mm average grain size) pyroxene and plagioclase in a brecciated matrix with occasional polymineralic clasts (up to 2.5 mm in maximum dimension). Pyroxenes are exsolved (Fs62Wo1 and Fs26Wo44). The Fe/Mn ratio of the pyroxene is ~29-31. The meteorite is a brecciated eucrite. |
