Comprehensive Technical Analysis

This meteorite is a testament to scientific exploration and analysis. Our researchers from the Applied Petrology Laboratory of the University of Alicante have meticulously analyzed this specimen, confirming its classification as a stony meteorite of the general class "chondrite," most likely an "ordinary chondrite" with a high "H" classification, indicating a high metal content. The petrographic description reveals a composition predominantly of olivine, accounting for 55% of its mineralogical makeup. The chondrules, which are spherical grain-like silicate structures, are well-distributed with grain sizes up to 2 mm in diameter. The presence of shock effects, as seen in abundant cross-cutting cracks in the olivine crystals, adds to the meteorite's unique characteristics.
