The Inman meteorite (find, 1966) is a single relatively unweathered stone of 7.25 kg that contains fresh metal and only a few weathering products away from fractures. It has a pronounced chondritic texture, with 38 vol% of the meteorite being made up of chondrules of virtually all textural types. The recalculated bulk analysis, in particular ratios involving iron content, indicate that Inman is an L-group chondrite. The pronounced chondritic texture; the compositional variation of olivine, pyroxene, chromite, and ilmenite; and the presence of a fine-grained nearly opaque matrix, glass, and twinned monoclinic low-Ca pyroxene indicate that the chondrite belongs to petrologic type 3.
