Possibly 433 Eros, 8 Flora or the Flora family as a whole
Composition
Olivine (characteristic fayalite (Fa) of 21 to 25 mol%), hypersthene (an orthopyroxene), iron–nickel 4–10%, troilite, chromite, Na-rich feldspar, Ca-phosphates
Petrologic type
6 (>60%)
Alternative names
L chondrite meteorites, Hypersthene chondrites, Olivine hypersthene chondrites
Walters, an L6 chondrite
The L type ordinary chondrites are the second most common group of meteorites, accounting for approximately 35% of all those catalogued, and 40% of the ordinary chondrites.[1] The ordinary chondrites are thought to have originated from three parent asteroids, with the fragments making up the H chondrite, L chondrite and LL chondrite groups respectively.[2]
