{"title":"Davy (a) - L4 Ordinary Chondrite","description":"\u003cp\u003eDavy (a) is an L4 Ordinary Chondrite from DeWitt County, Texas, USA, found in 1940. It is one of two distinct meteorites known under the Davy name, with Davy (a) classified as L4 and Davy (b) classified separately as H4. With a reported total known weight of 50.6 kg, Davy (a) is a recognised American meteorite find with clear Texas provenance and an official Meteoritical Bulletin entry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDavy (a) specimens are described as L4 Ordinary Chondrite material, meaning they belong to the low iron Ordinary Chondrite group and have experienced moderate thermal metamorphism on their parent asteroid. Type 4 material often preserves visible chondrules more clearly than more altered type 5 or 6 Chondrites, while still showing partial recrystallisation. Published work describes Davy (a) as represented by several highly weathered stones, with a shock stage of S2.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStudying Davy (a) provides insight into L Chondrite parent bodies, early solar system textures, and the effects of weathering on meteorites recovered from terrestrial environments. For collectors, it offers a recognised Texas L4 Chondrite with substantial recovered mass, visible Chondritic character, and historic American provenance. Each specimen represents ancient asteroid material formed over 4.5 billion years ago, preserved as part of a valid USA meteorite find.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/outerspacer.com\/collections\/davy-a-l4-ordinary-chondrite.oembed","provider":"OuterSpacer Meteorites","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
