Physical characteristics: Many irregular shaped fragments, dark sand-blasted exterior, no fusion crust. Petrography: (C. Agee, UNM) This meteorite is a fragmental breccia with pyroxene, plagioclase, and olivine grains set in fine grained groundmass. Scatttered micro-gabbro fragments were also observed. Ubiquitous, fine grained, accessory Fe-metal and sulfide are present. Minor amount of shock melt was observed in the microprobe section. All pyroxene grains probed were pigeonite, no augite was detected. Geochemistry: (C. Agee and B.
