ALH85013 is completely covered with fusion crust; ALH85005 and 85009 retain some weathered fusion crust. The others have no fusion crust and have a knobby appearance with inclusions protruding from the surface. The interiors appear relatively unweathered, black, fine-grained, and contain irregular white inclusions that are <0.5 mm in longest dimension.
