Matthias writes:
Individual with strikingly clear olivines, regmaglypts, densely crowded fine flowlines and preserved fusion crust.

Found by Dr. Svend Buhl 6 Feb. 2019 in the Imilac strewn field. He heard an unusually clear acoustic signal from his detector, knelt down and uncovered this fabulous piece by hand, digging about only 20 cm deep.
