Recovered in 1992 by Richard Wagner of Burstall, Saskatchewan, Canada, and donated to the GSC.
The total mass of the meteorite is 360 g. The exterior of the specimen is weathered and shows no remaining fusion crust. The interior of the sample shows oxidation along the boundaries of kamacite lamellae. Oxidation of a freshly cut surface proceeded rapidly, suggesting the presence of chloride and interaction with groundwater.
