Parsa vs Chainpur

Chondrite that fell in Bihar, India, in 1942, studied for its primitive mineral assemblage as a record of early solar system chemistry.

Chainpur is an LL3.4 ordinary chondrite meteorite that fell in India in 1907. Its low petrologic type indicates that it experienced relatively little thermal metamorphism on its parent body, allowing many chondrules and other early solar-system materials to remain distinct. Researchers study it as an unequilibrated ordinary chondrite, particularly for evidence about primitive solids, mineral chemi...
