clinopyroxenite																					clinopyroxene			plutonic cumulate
diogenite	low	orthopyroxene, olivine, chromite; pigeonite, calcic plagioclase, silica	during meteor phase	it fragments because smaller pieces with less mass are more easily slowed by the atmosphere	no chondrules	size is between 3 micrometers and 3 millimeters	high because it is more friable than iron meteorite	crater	strewn fields, elongated footprints which depends on impact angle, airbursts, and impact velocity	recorded by eyewitness or inferred from dating methods	cumulates, crystallized melts, impact mixing	based on the locale, region, or nearby town in which the fall occurred	ADIO	7.1 % of meteorite falls	during impact phase		68 kg	when it hits the ground which is smaller than its velocity before it enters the atmosphere	in degrees, minutes and seconds of lattitude and longitude	hyperstene	silicates (with very few exceptions)	which can over an order of magnitude greater than total mass of fragment(s) collected at the impact site	large if the fall was witnessed	plutonic cumulate	8	4 Vesta	high because it is more friable than iron meteorite	power outages and failures in electrical equipment due to EMP (electromagnetic pulse)	Howardite, Eucrite, Diogenite	which appears as an elongated footprint which depends on impact angle, airbursts, and impact velocity	coarse-grained orthopyroxenites, gabbros, fine- to coarse-grained basalts, brecciated
dunitic wehrlite																					olivine and some clinopyroxene			plutonic cumulate
dunnite																					olivine			plutonic cumulate
nakhilite	low		during meteor phase	it fragments because smaller pieces with less mass are more easily slowed by the atmosphere	no chondrules	size is between 3 micrometers and 3 millimeters	high because it is more friable than iron meteorite	crater	strewn fields, elongated footprints which depends on impact angle, airbursts, and impact velocity	recorded by eyewitness or inferred from dating methods		based on the locale, region, or nearby town in which the fall occurred	ACANOM	7.1 % of meteorite falls	during impact phase	Nakhla meteorite	1606 kg	when it hits the ground which is smaller than its velocity before it enters the atmosphere	in degrees, minutes and seconds of lattitude and longitude	diopside-olivine	cumulus-augite-bearing proxenite	which can over an order of magnitude greater than total mass of fragment(s) collected at the impact site	large if the fall was witnessed	clinopyroxenite	70	Mars	high because it is more friable than iron meteorite	power outages and failures in electrical equipment due to EMP (electromagnetic pulse)	Shergottite, Nakhilite, Chassignite	which appears as an elongated footprint which depends on impact angle, airbursts, and impact velocity
