SPECTROSCOPIC_DISCUSSION:
Spectrum has a broad absorption in the visible centered near 0.48 microns with a reflectance peak at 0.612 microns. There is an additional band at 0.66 microns before the absorption edge. The spectrum is flat from 0.8 microns to 1.0 microns. A series of complex absorptions dominate the spectrum from this point out to 2.5 microns. The 1.7 micron C-H stretch absorptions and 2.3 micron C-H combination bands are strong in this sample. There is also a complex of four absorptions centered near 2.15 microns.
