Bjurböle is an L/LL4 ordinary chondrite meteorite that fell in Finland in 1899. More than 330 kilograms of material were recovered, making it one of the largest documented meteorite falls in Scandinavia. Its chondritic structure and intermediate chemical classification make specimens relevant to res...

Bruderheim is an L6 ordinary chondrite that fell near Bruderheim, Alberta, on March 4, 1960. The atmospheric breakup produced a widely observed fireball and a substantial strewn field from which roughly 300 kilograms of material were recovered. The large documented sample and equilibrated mineral co...

Holbrook is an L6 ordinary chondrite meteorite that fell near Holbrook, Arizona, on 19 July 1912. Witnesses observed a fireball and fragmentation, followed by a shower that scattered thousands of mostly small stones across the surrounding area. As an equilibrated ordinary chondrite, its mineral comp...

Saint-Séverin is an LL6 ordinary chondrite meteorite that fell near Saint-Séverin in southwestern France on 27 June 1966. Its witnessed fall and the recovery of multiple fragments gave researchers comparatively fresh material with a documented terrestrial history. As an equilibrated LL chondrite, it...

Paragould is an LL5 ordinary chondrite that fell near Paragould, Arkansas, in 1930. Its classification indicates a meteorite with relatively low total iron and low metallic iron whose constituent minerals were thermally equilibrated within its parent asteroid. Multiple recovered masses, including a...

L6 ordinary chondrite that fell February 16, 1883, near Alfianello, Lombardy, Italy; its ~228 kg total mass ranks it among Italy's largest witnessed falls.

H6 ordinary chondrite that fell in Brittany, France in 1869, one of the most-studied H6 chondrites used as a geochemical reference standard.

Hessle is an H5 ordinary chondrite meteorite that fell near Hessle in Uppsala County, Sweden, on January 1, 1869. The event produced a shower of stones over a broad area and was observed by numerous witnesses, allowing many individual fragments to be recovered. As an equilibrated ordinary chondrite,...

Ochansk is an H4 ordinary chondrite that fell in the Perm region of Russia in 1887. The fall produced a large quantity of material, with a reported total mass approaching 500 kilograms, making it a substantial documented H-chondrite shower. Its type 4 classification indicates that its original chond...

Richardton is an H5 ordinary chondrite that fell near Richardton, North Dakota, on June 30, 1918. The H classification indicates relatively high total iron, while petrologic type 5 shows that its constituent minerals were substantially equilibrated by thermal metamorphism on the parent asteroid. Rec...

Allegan is an H5 ordinary chondrite that fell near Allegan, Michigan, in 1899. The H classification denotes an ordinary-chondrite group with relatively high total iron, while petrologic type 5 indicates substantial thermal metamorphism on its parent asteroid without complete melting. As a witnessed...

Stubenberg is an LL6 ordinary chondrite meteorite that fell near the municipality of Stubenberg in Bavaria, Germany, in March 2016. It is notable for being one of the few German meteorite falls where researchers successfully reconstructed the fireball's trajectory. This reconstructed flight path all...

Ste. Marguerite is an H4 ordinary chondrite meteorite that fell in northern France in 1962. Classified as an equilibrated chondrite, it retains a well-preserved chondritic texture that provides a clear record of early solar system materials. Because it was an observed fall, the meteorite was recover...

Dhurmsala is an LL6 ordinary chondrite meteorite that fell in the Kangra district of India in 1860. It is a historically significant witnessed fall that broke apart in the atmosphere, producing several recoverable stones that were collected by local residents. As an equilibrated ordinary chondrite,...

The Guareña meteorite is an H6 ordinary chondrite that fell in Badajoz province, Spain, in 1892. It is one of the more substantial historical meteorite falls recorded in Spain, and specimens are held in several museum and university collections. As an H6 chondrite, it represents a chemically equilib...

The Appley Bridge meteorite is an LL6 ordinary chondrite that fell in Lancashire, England, in 1914. It is one of the relatively small number of witnessed meteorite falls documented in Great Britain. As an LL6 chondrite, it belongs to the low-iron subgroup of ordinary chondrites, and its petrologic t...

Olivenza is a meteorite that fell in the Extremadura region of Spain in 1924. Classified as an LL5 ordinary chondrite, it is characterized by its low total iron content and highly equilibrated silicate minerals. As an observed fall, it is among the most historically significant meteorite specimens r...

H5 ordinary chondrite that fell near Krasnyi Klyuch, Bashkortostan, Russia, in 1946, with multiple stones recovered after a witnessed fall in the Soviet Union.

Plainview is an H5 ordinary chondrite meteorite associated with a broad strewn field near Plainview, Texas, where numerous individual stones have been recovered. The H classification indicates relatively high total iron, while petrologic type 5 indicates that its minerals were thermally equilibrated...

Jelica is an LL6 ordinary chondrite meteorite that fell in what is now Serbia in 1889. The LL classification denotes an ordinary chondrite group with low total iron and low metallic iron, while type 6 indicates extensive thermal metamorphism on its parent body. Recovered material is valuable to rese...
