These meteorites are pallasites with common exterior morphology and weathering. They range in mass from 8.2 g to 44.7 kg. They all exhibit a very weathered, rusty exterior with extensive removal of olivine, leaving voids that range in size from a few millimeters to many centimeters. The larger cavities probably resulted from extensive olivine removal during physical and chemical weathering and weathering of any residual metallic matrix.
