Weight:

Place:
Antarctica
Collection Date:
1991
Notes:
This is a generally blocky shaped specimen with rounded edges due to ablation working. It has a roughly convex surface that appears to have been the anterior surface during flight and a concave posterior surface. The specimen is covered with a thin secondary oxide coating, with possibly a few small patches of fusion crust remaining in deeper surface depressions. A 19 g slice was removed perpendicular to the anterior and posterior surfaces, resulting in butts of 90 g and 165 g. Approximately hag of the slice (4 cm2) was metallographically polished and etched.
