Fragment with 1mm thick brownish looking crust. The thick crust is especially good to see in the thin section. Meteorite size within the thin section is 12 x 6 mm.

University trade 1990

Ella Island is the first of only two known stony meteorites from Greenland (Ella Island and Ryder Gletcher) until now.
