Chondrules are readily delineated. Plagioclase average size is less than 50 μm. FeNi metal and troilite are well separated. Weathering products occur as veins and in situ alteration of FeNi metal and troilite. Classification: H5. Likely paired with Kerman 004. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
