Macroscopic Description - Cecilia Satterwhite
This carbonaceous chondrite is covered with dull black fusion crust that is weathered in some areas and frothy in others. Areas devoid of fusion crust are heavily pitted. Black matrix with small lighter colored inclusions make up the interior of this meteorite. Although the sample is coherent, it breaks easily.
Thin Section Description (,7) - Brian Mason
The section is 90% black matrix, with scattered olivine grains up to 0.3 mm across; chondrules are few and small. Olivine grains show a wide range in composition, Fa1-28. The meteorite is tentatively classified as a C1 chondrite.
