Ingella Station is an H5 Ordinary Chondrite found in the Tenham region of Queensland, Australia, in 1987. Several specimens were recovered, with a combined mass of around 50 kg. Although found in the same broad region as Tenham and Hammond Downs, Ingella Station is recognised as a distinct meteorite, separate from Tenham (L6) and Hammond Downs (H4). As an H Chondrite, it contains relatively high iron compared with L and LL Chondrites, while its type 5 classification indicates significant thermal metamorphism on its parent asteroid.

Ingella Station specimens are heavily weathered, reflecting long terrestrial exposure in the Australian environment. The meteorite is described as an Olivine-Bronzite Chondrite, with olivine Fa17 and low-calcium pyroxene Fs15. Its H5 classification means original Chondritic features have been partly recrystallised by heat, though the material still preserves the overall character of an Ordinary Chondrite. Weathered surfaces, rusty metal-rich veins, and traces of old fusion crust may be present in some specimens.

Studying Ingella Station provides insight into the H Chondrite parent body, thermal alteration, and the preservation of meteorites in Australian desert environments. Its Queensland provenance, recognised classification, and distinction from other nearby meteorite finds make it especially interesting for collectors of Australian meteorites and Ordinary Chondrites. Each specimen represents ancient asteroid material formed over 4.5 billion years ago, preserved as part of Australia’s rich meteorite record.
