Writeup |
Writeup from AMN 19(1):
The exterior of this meteorite has some patches of thin shiny black fusion crust. Most surfaces have a brownish color and areas of heavy oxidation are yellowish-brown in color. A few fractures penetrate the interior. The interior reveals a mixture of very fine-grained metal grains and very weathered, fine-grained silicates. Despite the abundant metal, this stone broke easily.
