Reflectance spectra from 0.44 to 1.65 lm were obtained for three K asteroids. These objects all have spectra consistent with olivine-dominated assemblages whose absorption bands have been suppressed by opaques. The two observed Eos family members (221 Eos and 653 Berenike) are spectral analogs to the CO3 chondrite Warrenton. The other observed object (599 Luisa) is a spectral analog for CV3 chondrite Mokoia. These asteroids are all located near meteorite-supplying resonances with the Eos family cut by the 9:4 resonance and Luisa is found near the 5:2 resonance. However, K asteroids have been identified throughout the main belt so it is difficult to rule out other possible parent bodies for the CO3 and CV3 chondrites.
