12.3 gram full slice.   Howardite

TKW 118 grams. Fall not observed. Purchased 2019, Layoune, West Sahara.

From the MetBul:
The meteorite is a polymict breccia with fine- and coarse-grained basaltic clasts, black impact melt clasts, and up to 4 mm sized diogenitic low-Ca pyroxene set into a clastic matrix predominantly composed of exsolved pyroxene, compositionally zoned low-Ca pyroxene, and calcic plagioclase of variable grain sizes. Contains about 15-20% diogenetic components. Minor phases include silica, chromite, FeS, and ilmenite. No metallic iron has been detected. One chondrule-like object composed of barred olivine and pyroxene crystals has been found. The meteorite is highly shocked, i.e., plagioclase is partly transformed to maskelynite and shock melt veins and pockets are present.
