AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Unclassified Ordinary Chondrite: Meteorites are often classified based on their mineralogical and chemical composition. Ordinary chondrites are the most common type of meteorites found on Earth, representing about 85% of all meteorites. They are primarily composed of silicate minerals, metal, and nickel-iron.


When a meteorite is described as "unclassified," it means that it has not been specifically categorized or studied in detail to determine its specific subgroup within the ordinary chondrite classification. Researchers may later analyze the meteorite to determine its precise composition, classification, and origin. The term "unclassified" is often temporary and may change as more research is conducted on the meteorite.
