A stony, carbonaceous chondrite, type III (CV3). Total known weight of 8.1 kg.; found as two individual masses (1.6 kg. found in 1961/62, and a second individual weighing 6.5 kg., reported in 1970). Plowed up from farm fields. The first segment found was placed under a fence until 1965. Comprised of a polymict breccia of carbonaceous chondrite and achondrite.
Ellipsoidal deformation of the chondrules caused by the heating of the meteorite to a temperature of 1000 to 1200 K and then application of a shear force that elongated one axis of the previously spheroidal chondrules (impact-produced shock).
