BCC9602, was the second meteorite sample found in Boggy Creek; a possible carbonaceous chondrite.

This sample contains numerous FeNi particles visible with a low magnification instrument, is highly magnetic and as is evident is partially fusion crusted.  It is a very fine grained mass with high Ti as measured by EDS analysis. Price has not yet been set. Total mass 425 grams.


 The image above shows an ancient sample with a shiny partial fusion crust preserved on the top side. The lack of fusion crusting around the rest of the sample indicates either heavy weathering but points a small piece of a larger sample.

  The under side of the sample as do several other BCC samples, has an unusual sub-mm striping never seen before in any meteorite.  While the other  sample's interiors  shows a highly  compact  ground mass, this sample  displays a general affinity for appearing overly dry to the point  of being friable, but is in fact very cohesive.
