Antarctica

Collection Date:

1983

Notes:

This roughly equidimensional 5.5 x 5.0 x 3.0 rounded individual is reminiscent of a small cobble. It is completely covered with a secondary reddish-brown coating of iron oxides, and no indication of fusion crust remains. The surface that has been recently exposed to wind ablation in our atmosphere is slightly smoother than the other surfaces, having rounded edges and a slightly distorted rectangular outline.
