A 34-kg stone was found in an area of sand dunes.  Mineralogy and classification (B. Birch, Museum of Victoria, Melbourne): homogeneous olivine, Fa25.6; feldspar, Ab84Or6; contains rare metal, abundant FeS. Specimens: main mass, Collector’s Corner, Springvale Road, Keysborough, Victoria, Australia; type specimen: Museum of Victoria, 328 Swanston Road, Keysborough, Victoria, Australia.

Radiometric dating of the meteorite itself estimates an age of about 4.5 billion years, suggesting it was formed at the very beginning of the Solar System, and which makes it among the oldest material known to exist ( the oldest rocks on Earth being only half its age!).
