Apart from the sharp main teeth
it has some tiny glued or filled fractures
the pyroxene zonations and the inverse formation of pigeonite to the augite-rim could be an indication of the extraterrestrial origin of this sample
Impressive and unique natural association that is composed of the pubis (pelvic bone) next to a complete vertebra
