Physical characteristics: The single, 5105 g stone is roughly shaped like a loaf of bread approximately 15 cm long, with a dark brown exterior. Cut surfaces reveal abundant chondrules, with some cm-scale darker zones. Petrography: (C. Herd, UAb) Optical and microprobe examination of a polished thin section shows small (generally < 1000 μm), poorly-defined chondrules. Numerous small iron oxide veinlets are present throughout. Olivine has sharp optical extinction with <2° angular variation. Geochemistry: (C. Herd and A. Locock, UAb) Data obtained by EMP examination of carbon-coated thin section: Olivine Fa19.4±0.5 (n=95); Low-Ca Pyroxene Fs17.4±1.0Wo1.4±1.0 (n=69).
