OFFICIAL CLASSIFICATION DATA SOURCE:
Petrography: (A. Irving, UWS and J. Boesenberg, BrownU) Well-formed unequilibrated chondrules (apparent diameter 1240 ± 550 µm, N = 25) containing devitrified glass are set in a fine grained matrix containing altered kamacite, augite, chromite and troilite.
Geochemistry: Olivine (Fa17.3±8.9, range Fa2.0-34.4, N = 16; Cr2O3 in ferroan olivine 0.03-0.22 wt.%, mean 0.11 wt.%, sd 0.07 wt.%, N = 23), low-Ca pyroxene (Fs20.4±10.8Wo1.7±0.9, range Fs8.3-31.0Wo1.0-3.4, N = 7), subcalcic augite (Fs7.1Wo32.3; Fs19.5Wo20.0; N = 2).
