SPECTROSCOPIC_DISCUSSION:
The spectrum of this sample has a reflectance level near 50% out to 1.1 microns. There are a number of complex sets of bands near 1.2, 1.4, 1.7, 1.95, and 2.15 microns. The spectrum is saturated past about 2.25 microns. The 1.7 micron C-H stretch absorption and 2.3 micron C-H combination bands are very strong in this sample.
