Peter writes:
From the MetBul:
Heterogeneous, highly recrystallized and partly annealed breccia composed of polymineralic clasts and related mineral debris. Some deformed orthopyroxene grains are up to 4 mm in size, but most mineral grains are much smaller and variable in size. Minerals are olivine, orthopyroxene, clinopyroxene, chromite, altered Ni-poor kamacite and troilite.
