Cal writes:
From the MetBul:

Many identically appearing pieces totaling 45 kg found together. Dark colored, irregular exterior lacking fusion crust. Saw-cut surface reveals a fragmental breccia with light and dark colored clasts set in a dark-gray groundmass. Major phases are plagioclase, pigeonite, augite, and olivine. Minor phases include low-Ni iron metal, ilmenite, troilite, chromite, silica and Ti-Cr spinel.
