# NASA data for LEW 85313 Weathering: B Fracturing: B Pairing: LEW 85441 Fs: 15-64 mol % NTL: 4.4 ± 0.04 krad
Dull fusion crust covers most of LEW85313 except where large pieces of stone have been plucked out. This feature is abundant and makes this meteorite resemble a piece of Swiss cheese. A brownish-gray weathering rind extends from less than 1 mm to greater than 1 cm into the interior. The massive gray matrix contains both rounded and irregular inclusions that range in color from white to black. Some oxidation haloes are obvious.
