FROM THE METEORITICAL BULLETTIN NUMBER 84:

A dark-brown stone, broken into three adjoining pieces, with a total mass of 1619 g was found in the Dar al Gani region. Mineralogy and classification (L. Folco, MNA-SI): centimeter-sized patches of fusion crust are present on the external surfaces; porphyritic texture consisting of millimeter-sized phenocrysts of brown olivine (Fo₅_8–80) set in a fine grained basaltic groundmass of tabular pyroxene and interstitial feldspathic glass (An_52–72Or_0–1); pyroxene is primarily pigeonite (En_56–66Wo_9–13) with subordinate enstatite (En_73–82Wo_2– ₃) and augite (En_48–50Wo_31–36); other minerals are chromite, titanian chromite, ilmenite, merrillite, and pyrrhotite; shock features include strong mosaicism and planar deformation in olivine, undulose extinction and twinning in pyroxene, and abundant impact-melt pockets and veinlets; pervasive veins filled in by calcite are due to terrestrial weathering. Oxygen isotopes (A. Sexton and I. A. F ranchi, OU): δ¹⁷O = +2.83‰, δ¹⁸O = +4.95‰, Δ¹⁷O = +0.26‰. The petrography and level of terrestrial weathering are essentially identical to those of DaG 476 and DaG 489, and the three are very likely paired. Specimens: main mass with anonymous finder; 11.9 g and one polished thin section at MNA-SI.
