Endcut of Chwichiya 002, a rare C3.00-ungrouped, and potentially CT3 as it is a member of the recently proposed CT Group

TLDR; it's a pristine time capsule from before the Earth formed... and with embedded pre-solar grains (remnants of a solar system older than ours by a few billion years that went supernova).
