Wang D. et al. (1986) Petrology of nine ordinary chondrite falls from China (Meteoritics 22-1, 1987, 97-104):
Zaoyang is completely unweathered; it has a moderately recrystallized texture, but chondrules are still readily delineated. Silicate grains are fractured and exhibit undulose extinction; however, maskelynite is absent. |
