Ordinary chondrite, veined (H5)
Fall, 20 Apr1922; 3.5 kg
After a fireball and detonations at dusk, a single stone fell near a farmhouse and was recovered from a 12 cm hole on the next morning. The stone displays a very nice fusion crust. Olivine and pyroxene are the predominant silicates and are accompanied by accessory troilite, kamacite and taenite. Chondrules reach 2mm in size. The meteorite has been blackened by preterrestrial shocks and is marked by prominent veins. A few minor opaques were observed by Ramdohr (1973).
Hedeskoga is one of 5 witnessed H5 falls recovered in Sweden since the Hessle meteorite fell on the first day of 1869.
