Scientific & Collector Significance:

Oriented meteorites like this specimen are highly prized because they preserve the exact orientation of the stone during its fiery descent through Earth's atmosphere. The regmaglypts, fusion crust, and aerodynamic shaping tell the story of its journey from space. The cut window allows examination of the internal chondritic texture while preserving the exterior features that make oriented stones so desirable.

Fresh fusion crust indicates minimal terrestrial weathering, suggesting a recent find with excellent preservation. Unclassified specimens offer the potential for future scientific study and formal classification.
