Physical characteristics: Single stone with black fusion crust. Interior shows unbrecciated texture with millimeter-sized dark green pyroxenes and white plagioclase crystals. Cut and broken surfaces shows equigranular, medium grained, basaltic texture.

Petrography: (A. Ross,UNM; D. Dickens, NMMS; C.

Ubiquitous silica, ilmenite, and troilite. No metal was observed.

Geochemistry: (A. Ross,UNM) Low-Ca pyroxene Fs61.7±0.2Wo1.8±0.2, Fe/Mn=33±1, n=7; high-Ca pyroxene Fs29.5±5.0Wo40.0±5.8, Fe/Mn=32±2, n=5; plagioclase An84.7±4.3, n=7;

Classification: Achondrite (equilibrated unbrecciated eucrite). Equilibration and clear compositional separation of low-calcium and high-calcium pyroxenes is consistent with type 6 eucrites.
