# NASA data for ALH 78038 Weathering: C Fracturing: C Pairing: ALH 77011 Fa: 4-42 mol % Fs: 19-2 mol % ²⁶Al: 36 ± 3 dpm/kg
This angular sample is approximately 12 x 5 x 5 cm. and appears shiny and reddish-brown due to weathering and staining by iron oxidation. Several fractures penetrate deeply into the sample. One small remnant patch of shiny black fusion crust remains on the B surface. During processing the sample fell apart and revealed no unoxidized material.
