Mocs is an L6 ordinary chondrite that fell in 1882 near Mocs, in territory now belonging to Romania. The event produced a broad shower from which hundreds of individual stones were reportedly recovered, making it a well-represented historic fall. Its L classification denotes an ordinary chondrite gr...
Bjurböle is an L/LL4 ordinary chondrite meteorite that fell in Finland in 1899. More than 330 kilograms of material were recovered, making it one of the largest documented meteorite falls in Scandinavia. Its chondritic structure and intermediate chemical classification make specimens relevant to res...
Bruderheim is an L6 ordinary chondrite that fell near Bruderheim, Alberta, on March 4, 1960. The atmospheric breakup produced a widely observed fireball and a substantial strewn field from which roughly 300 kilograms of material were recovered. The large documented sample and equilibrated mineral co...
Holbrook is an L6 ordinary chondrite meteorite that fell near Holbrook, Arizona, on 19 July 1912. Witnesses observed a fireball and fragmentation, followed by a shower that scattered thousands of mostly small stones across the surrounding area. As an equilibrated ordinary chondrite, its mineral comp...
Saint-Séverin is an LL6 ordinary chondrite meteorite that fell near Saint-Séverin in southwestern France on 27 June 1966. Its witnessed fall and the recovery of multiple fragments gave researchers comparatively fresh material with a documented terrestrial history. As an equilibrated LL chondrite, it...
Paragould is an LL5 ordinary chondrite that fell near Paragould, Arkansas, in 1930. Its classification indicates a meteorite with relatively low total iron and low metallic iron whose constituent minerals were thermally equilibrated within its parent asteroid. Multiple recovered masses, including a...
L6 ordinary chondrite that fell February 16, 1883, near Alfianello, Lombardy, Italy; its ~228 kg total mass ranks it among Italy's largest witnessed falls.
Hessle is an H5 ordinary chondrite meteorite that fell near Hessle in Uppsala County, Sweden, on January 1, 1869. The event produced a shower of stones over a broad area and was observed by numerous witnesses, allowing many individual fragments to be recovered. As an equilibrated ordinary chondrite,...
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 chond...
Richardton is an H5 ordinary chondrite that fell near Richardton, North Dakota, on June 30, 1918. The H classification indicates relatively high total iron, while petrologic type 5 shows that its constituent minerals were substantially equilibrated by thermal metamorphism on the parent asteroid. Rec...
Allegan is an H5 ordinary chondrite that fell near Allegan, Michigan, in 1899. The H classification denotes an ordinary-chondrite group with relatively high total iron, while petrologic type 5 indicates substantial thermal metamorphism on its parent asteroid without complete melting. As a witnessed...
LL6 ordinary chondrite that fell in Bavaria, Germany in March 2016, one of the few German falls with a reconstructed fireball trajectory and strewn field.
H4 ordinary chondrite that fell in northern France in 1962, notable for well-preserved chondritic texture and use in cosmochemical research.
An LL6 ordinary chondrite that fell in Lancashire, England in 1914, it is one of the few witnessed meteorite falls on record in Great Britain.
H5 ordinary chondrite that fell near Krasnyi Klyuch, Bashkortostan, Russia, in 1946, with multiple stones recovered after a witnessed fall in the Soviet Union.
