description Sharps Overview
Sharps is an H3.4 ordinary chondrite meteorite that fell in Virginia in 1921. Its classification places it among relatively unequilibrated H-group chondrites, which contain abundant metal and preserve chondrules and other early solar system textures more clearly than strongly heated ordinary chondrites. The material is therefore useful to meteoriticists investigating primitive asteroid matter, thermal alteration, and the mineralogical conditions present during early planetary formation.
