This meteorite was first discovered in 2006. Several stones
of about 6 kilograms was found : This interesting meteorite very
much resembles a Lunar anorthositic breccia. In fact, that is what
it was believed to be until detailed research work later showed
otherwise. It is believed that this meteorite, as other diogenties,
formed as a sub-surface rock on the asteroid Vesta. What is really
unusual about this specimen is that it is a breccia containing fragments
of diogenite rocks of different compositions. Most are simple "monomict"
breccias of one rock type. Prior to this find, only 6 of these
"polymict" diogenite breccias were known.
but some information is available.
