The preliminary results of abundance analysis are presented for extremely metal-poor carbon star HD 112869 = TT CVn = CGCS 3319. The radial velocity was found to be −137.7 km s−1. Our LTE abundance analysis supports an extremely low metallicity for TT CVn, [Fe/H] = −3.2, and a significant overabundance of carbon and neutron-capture elements. The 12C/13C ratio in the atmosphere of HD 112869 is high.
