Ordinary Chondrites |
Carbonaceous Chondrites |
Enstatite Chondrites |
Rumuruti Chondrites |
The Ordinary Chondrites are arranged with higher iron meteorites first. Meteorites designated H have between 15 and 19% iron-nickel metal. Those designated L have between 1 and 10% iron-nickel metal. Those designated LL have between 1 and 3% iron-nickel metal. To find out more, visit our type table.
Within the H, L and LL categories, less altered meteorites are listed first. (Meteorites that have been less altered in space have more visible chondrules.) Those types that end with the number 3 have the least alteration and the most visible chondrules. Those that end with the number 6 have the most alteration and the least visible chondrules.

With a few exceptions, meteorites take the name of the place where they fell or were found. For example, the Canyon Diablo meteorite was found near Canyon Diablo, Arizona, the Allende meteorite fell near the town of Allende in Mexico, the Sikhote-Alin meteorite fell in the Sikhote-Alin mountains of Russia, and so on.
When people see a meteorite fall it is called a "fall". When they do not see it fall but recognize it on the Earth, it is a "find".
Stony meteorites look similar to ordinary rocks. Even though about 95% of the meteorites that fall are stony, they are a minority of those found. Unless someone sees them fall, it takes an expert to spot one. That is why these are all "falls."
