# NASA data for EET 87717 Weathering: B/C Fracturing: B Pairing: EET 87511 Fa: 10-15 mol % Fs: 12 mol % NTL: 3.8 ± 0.7 krad
Two small patches of dull black fusion crust remain on EET87511. The exterior surface is greenish in color due to weathering. The interior is black with abundant platy minerals and some plagioclase. Oxidation occurs between the minerals. EET87523 is fairly coarse grained with a high proportion of mafic minerals. There is heavy oxidation in some areas but rust is absent in others. A few small patches of fusion crust remain. The same description applies to EET87717.
