Macroscopic Description: Roberta Score This of one of the most rusted stones I have seen!
Thin Section (,2) Description: Brian Mason The section shows a close-packed aggregate of chondrules (up to 1.8 mm across) and chondrule fragments in a small amount of matrix; much of the matrix is black, but there are areas of pale green isotropic material. About 20% of the nickel-iron and troilite is present, dispersed through the matrix and within the chondrules. Microprobe analyses show that most of the olivine and pyroxene is almost iron-free, but with occasional iron-rich grains: olivine, Fa1-23, mean Fa4; pyroxene, Fs1-5. The meteorite is tentatively classified as a C2 chondrite of the Renazzo subtype.
