Relatively small, well-formed chondrules (apparent diameter 310±280 µm, N = 26) accompanied by zoned mineral grains, AOA and rare very small, amoeboid, very fine grained CAI are set in a black ultra fine-grained matrix (~60 vol.%). Accessory phases detected by electron microprobe analysis include troilite, pentlandite, kamacite (as inclusions in chondrule olivine only) and calcite.
