A small strewnfield was discovered that contained thousands of tiny fragments and dozens of larger pieces of a relatively-fresh and unusual-looking meteorite.

Fragments of this meteorite resemble an olivine-diogenite in texture and appearance. It has a crystalline texture with a greenish and amber coloration.
