Chondrite meteorite. Meteorite GRO95505 that was found in the Grosvenor Mountains, Antarctica. The exterior of this ordinary chondrite is covered with black fractured fusion crust on most of its surfaces. Areas without fusion crust are yellow brown and show heavy oxidation. Many inclusions and chondrules (round grains) are visible. It is composed mainly of granular and porphyritic olivine and olivine-pyroxene.
