H-Chondrite. Was "fossilized" in 460 Ma old rocks. Although the fine structural details of the chondrules are often extremely well preserved, all minerals have been altered except chromite.
The meteorite (ca. 11 × 9.5 cm) occurs in a polished slab of Middle Ordovician limestone.
Two Cu-phases (Cu1.66S and Cu4FeS4) were observed.
