Agee, UNM) Microprobe examination of a polished mount shows approximately equal amounts of pyroxene and plagioclase grains often in poikiloblastic arrangement. Some pyroxenes have exsolution. Ubiquitous silica, ilmenite, and troilite. No metal was observed.Geochemistry: (A. Ross, UNM) Low-Ca pyroxene Fs61.7±0.2Wo1.8±0.2, Fe/Mn=33±1, n=7; high-Ca pyroxene Fs29.5±5.0Wo40.0±5.8, Fe/Mn=32±2, n=5; plagioclase An84.7±4.3, n=7;Classification: Achondrite (equilibrated unbrecciated eucrite).
