kg beautiful chondrite, with soft and porous matrix in which
some huge chondrules with sharp boundaries can be seen. Some
of them highly fractured, show well the high shock stage of this
meteorite. Mostly covered with fusion crust, Tan. 060 is equilibrated
(type 4), with a finely brecciated matrix, most probably because
of the collision between parent bodies .
