Macroscopic Description - Roberta Score
Shiny black fusion crust covers approximately one quarter of EET83247. Half of the exterior surfaces have weathered to a reddish-brown. Half is medium gray with large cream-colored clasts. One fine-grained black clast was noted. Most of the exposed interior has been heavily oxidized.
Thin Section Description (,4) - Jeremy Delaney
This is texturally similar to ALH83015 and contains lithic fragments with both pyroxene and olivine. Pyroxene composition is En72Wo2.5 and is, therefore, different from the Elephant Moraine 79002 diogenite which contains En76Wo2.
