Wagon Mound is an L6 Ordinary Chondrite found in Mora County, New Mexico, USA, in the spring of 1932. A single 87.5 kg stone was discovered by Donald Wiggins while planting a field, and the meteorite remained with his family for 67 years before being sold in 1999. As an L Chondrite, Wagon Mound has lower metallic iron than H Chondrites, while its type 6 classification indicates a high degree of thermal metamorphism on its parent asteroid.

Wagon Mound specimens typically show a compact, recrystallised Chondrite texture, with subdued chondrules and scattered metal grains. The type 6 classification means many original Chondritic features have been altered by heat, although the overall meteorite structure remains recognisable. Natural pieces may show weathered exterior surfaces, while cut fragments reveal a dense grey to brown interior typical of equilibrated Ordinary Chondrites.

Studying Wagon Mound provides insight into Ordinary Chondrite parent bodies, thermal metamorphism, and the long history of asteroid material before arrival on Earth. For collectors, it offers a well-documented American meteorite with strong New Mexico provenance, single-stone recovery history, and classic L6 classification. Each specimen represents ancient asteroid material formed over 4.5 billion years ago, preserved as part of a recognised USA meteorite find.
