Thin Section (,2) Description: Tim McCoy and Valerie Reynolds
The meteorite is paired with the MIL 05029 pairing group, the original description of which was: The meteorites consist of
large (up to 4 mm) orthopyroxene grains with interstitial feldspar with both of these phases poikilitically enclosing 50-200
µm olivine grains. Minor metal and sulfide are present, with sulfide occasionally rimming metal. Silicates (olivine of Fa25,
orthopyroxene of Fs21Wo4, plagioclase of An16Or3) are compositionally within the range of L chondrites. The meteorites are
likely L ordinary chondrite impact melt rocks and similar in some respects to PAT 91501 (Mittlefehldt and Lindstrom, MAPS,
36, 439).
