Macroscopic Description - Cecilia Satterwhite

30% of this meteorite’s exterior has brown/black fusion crust with some oxidation. The interior is a light gray matrix with abundant clasts. Minor weathering is visible. Gray, white and cream colored inclusions are visible on the exterior and interior.

Thin Section Description (,2) - Tim McCoy, Linda Welzenbach

The section shows a groundmass of comminuted pyroxene (up to 3 mm) and plagioclase with fine- to coarse-grained basaltic clasts ranging up to 1 mm. Most of the pyroxene is augite with compositions ranging from Fs37-84Wo13-36 (Fe/Mn ~ 70), and plagioclase An90-96. The meteorite is lunar, probably an anorthositic regolith breccia.
