Remnant fusion crust remains on three surfaces of the sample. The other surfaces are fracture surfaces that are stained reddish-brown by iron oxidation. One fine grained gray inclusion, approximately 1 cm in diameter, was exposed in the sample during processing. The interior of the specimen is fine grained and light gray.
