Thin Section Description (,2) - Cari Corrigan, Linda Welzenbach, Pamela Salyer
These sections consist of abundant, small (up to 1 mm) chondrules, chondrule fragments and mineral grains in a dark matrix. Metals and sulfides occur both within and rimming the chondrules. Olivine ranges in composition from Fa0-64, with a continuous range of intermediate compositions. Pyroxenes range from Fs1-15Wo1-3. The matrix appears to consist largely of Fe-rich olivine. These meteorites are CO3 chondrites and are likely paired with the MIL 07099 pairing group.
