Macroscopic Description - Cecilia Satterwhite
This sample is covered by black, shiny fusion crust with radiating flowlines. The interior is light gray and fine-grained with a few very small dark gray to black inclusions.
Thin Section Description (,5) - Brian Mason
The section shows an aggregate of pale brown pyroxene-and colorless plagioclase, in part showing relatively coarse ophitic texture (plagioclase laths up to 0.7 mm long, pyroxene grains up to 0.6 mm across), in part finely granulated. Pyroxene compositions show a continuous range from pigeonite to augite: Wo3-41, Fs24-55, En relatively constant, 40-45; mean composition is Wo18Fs38. Plagioclase composition is An86-92, mean An90. Tridymite is present as an accessory. The meteorite is a monomict eucrite.
