Francesco writes:
Caratteristiche fisiche: Il meteorite presenta una superficie segata bruno-arancio fortemente alterata.

Petrografia: il meteorite è composto da condruli separati e chiaramente definiti inseriti in un'abbondante matrice ricca di olivina. Pochi condruli contengono olivina non equilibrata dal punto di vista compositivo e pirosseno a basso contenuto di Ca meno abbondante. In tutta la matrice l'olivina è equilibrata. Magnetite contenente cromo e plagioclasio intermedio sono abbondanti nella matrice; gli accessori includono Ca-pirosseno, pirrotite e troilite.
