History: Purchased by Dustin Dickens in Morocco, January 2016.

Physical characteristics: Seven identical appearing stones with weathered exteriors. Saw cuts show a breccia with black shock melt domains, a few vesicles were observed.

Petrography: (C. Agee, UNM) Microprobe examination of a polished mount shows fragmental breccia of basaltic clasts, feldspars clasts, pyroxene clasts, and vesicular shock melt pockets. Accessory silica, ilmenite and chromite are present.

Geochemistry: (C. Agee and B. Ha, UNM) Diogenitic pyroxene Fs_22.6Wo_2.1, Fe/Mn=31, n=1; cumulate eucritic pyroxene Fs_35.1±2.9Wo_5.3±2.6, Fe/Mn=29±2, n=4; basaltic eucritic pyroxene Fs_50.2±4.5Wo_8.3±4.3, Fe/Mn=30±1, n=7; basaltic sub-calcic augite Fs_37.8Wo_23.5, Fe/Mn=29, n=1; plagioclase An_92±1.9, n=9.

Classification: Polymict eucrite based on the volume percent lithologies: ~62% basaltic eucrite, 31% cumulate eucrite, and ~8% diogenite.
