Weighing 5.7 grams, this specimen provides a substantial look at the NWA 16208 Winonaite. The larger surface area allows for a clear observation of the primitive achondrite texture, characterized by fine-grained silicates and metal distribution. It illustrates the specific geological process where the parent body was heated significantly but not fully melted. A distinct addition to any collection focusing on planetary differentiation and meteorite classification.
