Larger polycrystalline and smaller mineral clasts of predominantly orthopyroxene (Fs23.6-25.6Wo1.9-1.3; FeO/MnO = 27-29) with subordinate olivine (Fa31.1-31.6; FeO/MnO = 46-47), clinopyroxene (Fs9.1Wo45.4; FeO/MnO = 20), chromite and altered metal. The specimen is stained brown as a result of terrestrial weathering of minor metal.
