Macroscopic Description - Kathleen McBride
The exterior of this carbonaceous chondrite is black with small white inclusions. There is very little fusion crust, which is purplish in color. Numerous circular pits or vugs and some evaporites are present. The interior is black with small white inclusions. The matrix is powdery, but coherent. Small inclusions are visible.
Thin Section Description (,7) - Tim McCoy
The section exhibits numerous small chondrules (most less than 0.5 mm), larger CAIs and mineral fragments in a black matrix. A 7 mm diameter clast is apparent in reflected light. Trace amounts of metal and troilite are present. The matrix appears to consist of serpentine. Olivines exhibit a range from Fa0-39, with most Fa0-2. Pyroxenes range from Fs2-5. The meteorite is a C2 chondrite. The meteorite may be paired with the EET96005 group.

The texture is great with these images. As for CIA I think with Cm2 they are very small Ian.
