Chondrite meteorite. Meteorite that has been split open to reveal it's internal structure. This is meteorite GRO95544 that was found in the Grosvenor Mountains, Antarctica. The exterior has a thin patchy fusion crust that has been weathered away in some areas. The interior is dark brown with numerous round grains (chondrules) that are white to yellow in colour and measure 1 to 4 mm in size. They are mainly granular and porphyritic olivine and olivine-pyroxene, with a few radiating and crytocrystalline pyroxene.
