Anomalous meteorite, 8 cm in size, primarily identified as a winonaite-like type, found in beds that yield L-type chondrites, within Ordovician limestone quarry. It is suggested to be a fragment of the body that impacted and broke up the L-chondrite parent body. The destruction of this body is coincident with the Great Ordovician Biodiversification Event.
It is also suggested (basing on Cr and oxygen-isotope analyses) that the meteorite stands for a totally new type, an "extinct" meteorite, that is not falling on Earth anymore.
The meteorite contains unique spinel grains.
