From the MetBul:

Physical characteristics: Grayish rock largely covered with fusion crust.

Petrography: The meteorite is an unbrecciated coarse-grained basalt displaying characteristic intersertal texture with abundant domains of recrystallized mesostasis. Main minerals are up to 2 mm sized exsolved proxene and dominantly lath-shaped calcic plagioclases. Minor phases include silica, chromite, ilmenite, zircon, and FeS. No metallic iron detected.
