Ordinary chondrite, unequilibrated (H3)
Fall, 1976; 2 kg
A chondritic stone fell at an unreported date. Its total iron content (Fe 28 wt%) and its initial classification as an 'olivine-bronzite chondrite' [today's L (low-Fe) chondrite group] have appeared in recent compilations during the past four decades, but per se mineralogical descriptions appear to be quite sparse. Several references to its cosmic ray exposure (CRE) age have, however, appeared in the readily accessible literature.
While several hundred meteorites are listed exactly as 'H3' chondrites (mostly small and/or weathered), only two witnessed falls — Florence and Udaipur — are currently classified exactly as 'H3' chondrites. Fully classified unequilibrated (petrologic type 3) ordinary chondrite falls are usually classified as petrologic types 3.00—3.9. As only 44 witnessed unequilibrated falls are currently listed at the Meteoritical Bulletin Database (as of October 2015), it would appear that a full mineralogical and petrographic study of this presumably relatively fresh material is in order.
The main mass has been kept at the Udaipur Museum.
Nota bene: The exact coordinates of the fall are unknown.
