{"title":"H Ordinary Chondrites","description":"\u003cp\u003eH Chondrites form one of the three types of Ordinary Chondrites (being L, LL, \u0026amp; H). Of these three types, H Chondrites are the most abundant of all meteorites, accounting for 40% of all meteorites catalogued, 46% of Ordinary Chondrites, and 44% of all Chondrites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 'H' stands for 'high iron', referring to their relatively high content of metallic iron and iron-bearing minerals. Formed over 4.5 billion years ago, H Chondrites originated from primitive asteroid material that has undergone moderate thermal metamorphism, preserving their early solar system origins while showing signs of internal heating on their parent body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eH Chondrites typically display a dense, grey to brown interior with visible chondrules and scattered metallic iron grains when cut and polished. Their metal content often gives them a slightly reflective or speckled appearance, while their outer surface is usually covered in a dark fusion crust from atmospheric entry. Depending on their classification, the clarity of chondrules can vary, reflecting different degrees of thermal alteration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStudying H Chondrites provides valuable insight into the composition and evolution of one of the most common building blocks of the solar system. They are closely linked to S-type asteroids and help scientists understand processes such as heating, metamorphism, and metal distribution in early planetary material. For collectors, H Chondrites are highly popular due to their availability, identifiable features, and scientific importance. Each specimen represents a classic example of a meteorite, offering a direct connection to the early history of our solar system.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"carancas","title":"Carancas - H4-5 - Ordinary Chondrite  - Fragment - 0.313g - Peru","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"26\" data-end=\"536\"\u003eCarancas is a famous witnessed Meteorite fall that occurred near the village of Carancas in southern Peru on 15 September 2007.
