Paired with FRO97003. Abundant mm-sized chondrules (primarily type IA/B; Fa2-12 and Fs1-5 respectively) and minor refractory inclusions are set in a black matrix, mainly consisting of FeO-rich Ol grains (Fa39-71) up to several microns in size; opaque minerals include tiny grains (less than 1 µm) of Ni-rich sulfide (up to 18 wt% Ni); no metal has been detected.
