The nine fragments were dispersed over about 2 km. One of the finders sold the meteorite to Vincent Jacques on his return to Belgium. Physical characteristics: The largest piece weighs 5.2 kg. All pieces are mostly covered by a dark-brown fusion crust with visible regmaglypts. Petrography: Light-dark breccia texture, with rounded equilibrated light clasts (cm-sized or smaller) set in a dark, unequilibrated lithology with well delineated chondrules. The host lithology contains melt pockets, melt veins, and metal veins. The dark host lithology dominates. Geochemistry: Equilibrated clasts: Fa19.6±1.0 (n=5), Fs16.8±1.5Wo1.6±0.2 (n=5).
