# NASA data for GRO 03009 Weathering: B/Ce Fracturing: B/C Pairing: GRO 85203 Magnetic Susceptibility: '4.98'
40% of exterior has fractured black fusion crust with rusty oxidation. Evaporites are present. Areas without fusion crust are weathered brown with some rusty spots. Some mottled grey areas are visible. Fractures penetrate the surface. Interior is grey matrix with heavy oxidation and weathering visible. Some metal visible. Inclusions are weathered (rusty colored) and mm sized. (More weathered than GRO 03004 but that may be due to the fact that it broke near a fracture).
