This 25.59 gram meteorite (chondrite) was discovered near Dimmitt, Texas in 1942. It is classified as a chondrite, specifically H3.7. “H” stands for high iron (around 25–30 wt% metal and iron-rich silicates) and “3.7” refers to the petrologic grade, meaning it has experienced moderate thermal metamorphism but still retains visible chondrules. This slice has beautifully strong chondrules set amongst a diverse matrix -- an excellent example of a minimally altered chondrite, representing the early stages of our solar system.

This slice is from an older collection and maintains its original label. The label is consistent with Glenn Huss / American Meteorite Laboratory (AML) provenance.

Unique Features of This Meteorite

--Ordinary Chondrite--

Ordinary chondrites make up about 85% of all known falls. They are stony meteorites composed primarily of silicate minerals like olivine and pyroxene, with small amounts of nickel-iron metal and chondrules—tiny, spherical grains that formed in the early solar system. Their composition provides valuable insights into the building blocks of planets and the history of our solar system.

--Chondrules--

Small, spherical particles found in some meteorites, particularly in chondrites. These are believed to be some of the oldest solid materials in our solar system.
