It is still under discussion. This is a very odd meteorite, large clasts,
lots of goodies throughout, classic Howardite, BUT, it seems that in many
pieces, the Diogenite level is just under the Howardite leval, suggesting
Eucrite, other pieces are higher in Diogenite.
To me it is a Howardite, lock stock and barrel, the scientists cant decide.
