Macroscopic Description - Kellye Pando

The exterior has small patches (covering ~5%) of black, mosaic fractured fusion crust. Exposed rock is black, very vesicular and has a few spherical inclusions (possible chondrules) visible. Fresh interior is dark grey matrix with round black inclusions up to 1 mm visible and some brown-orange rust throughout.

Thin Section Description (,,2) - Cari Corrigan, Tim McCoy

The section consists of large (up to 2 mm), poorly-defined chondrules in a matrix of finer-grained silicates, sulfides, and abundant magnetite. The meteorite is little weathered, but extensively shock-blackened. Silicates are homogeneous. Olivine is Fa₃₂. Ca-rich pyroxene is Fs_4-11 and orthopyroxene is Fs₂₇. The meteorite appears to be a CK6 chondrite.
