description Ochansk Overview
Ochansk is an H4 ordinary chondrite that fell in the Perm region of Russia in 1887. The fall produced a large quantity of material, with a reported total mass approaching 500 kilograms, making it a substantial documented H-chondrite shower. Its type 4 classification indicates that its original chondrules remain recognizable even though the rock experienced enough thermal metamorphism on its parent asteroid to modify their minerals and textures.
