Ordinary chondrite, unequilibrated (L3, S2, W0)
Fall, 24 December 2015; 45 g
A bolide brighter than the full moon was observed by thousands over a large part of central Europe and recorded photographically at 7 Czech stations of the European Fireball Network. Two small fresh meteorites were soon recovered less than 100 m apart. Sharply defined chondrules (0.4—7 mm) are found within a fine-grained matrix. The range and average of olivine composition (Fa20-27, ave. 23.8) indicate an unequilibrated low-iron chondrite (L3). Pyroxene, feldspar, glass, and opaques are reported. Undulose extinction of olivine and orthopyroxene plus irregular fractures indicate only moderate preterrestrial shock.
Žd'ár nad Sázavou is the 44th witnessed unequilibrated ordinary chondrite now listed at the Meteoritical Bulletin Database.
