Ordinary Chondrite, brecciated (LL6,br; S3)
Fall, 1 December 1889; 34 kg
After light and detonations, a shower of stones fell over an 8 km x 5 km area, the largest ~8.5 kg. Olivine composition (Fa32.3) is characteristic of the LL (very low total iron) group of ordinary chondrites. Some unusual inclusions and various opaques have been the subject of detailed inquiry. Mineralogically the meteorite consists primarily of dominant olivine and orthopyroxene plus minor albitic plagioclase, troilite, and Fe-Ni metal. Accessory chromite, ilmenite, phosphates and other minor opaques are found in lesser amounts. Fe-Ni metal contains both tetrataenite (Ni ≥ ~50 wt%) and wairauite (30 wt% Co) as well as the usual kamacite and taenite. A cosmic ray exposure age of ~26.2 Ma has been reported.
The LL ordinary chondrites (relatively very low in bulk iron) represent ~ 10% of all meteorite falls. At the beginning of 2017, Jelica was the 5th most massive of the 43 witnessed falls classified exactly as an 'LL6' chondrite.
During the last century moderately large specimens were preserved (and, presumably, are still preserved) at the Natural History Museum in Belgrade and the Hungarian Natural History Museum in Budapest.
