A chondrite from the early days of Antarctic meteorite expeditions, it was found during the 1976-1977 field season. Two masses were found 700 m apart and first thought to be distinct but rare gas studies indicate they are from the same fall. My 11.5 gr slice has a bit of fusion crust on the left and shows abundant FeNi surrounded by rusty halos. |
