Writeup from MN J9(1):

Y-791839, 52-2

The section consists of aggregates of large elongated olivine grains 3 mm long with some pigeonite grains. Carbon-rich materials distribute unevenly at grain boundaries, where carbonaceous veins are missing and void space was produced. Strong shock effects are numerous, including unduratory extinction. Olivine has cores of Fa24. Pigeonites Ca4-21Fe10-16 show some ranges in chemical compositions. This meteorite is a ureilite.
