Scientific paper

The fall of the considered meteorite was observed near Piancaldoli, Italy, on Aug. 10, 1968. Three small meteoritic fragments were found on the roof of a house after the fall. A total metal content of 2.8 wt percent was found in a chemical analysis of a sample of a meteoritic fragment. Minerals considered in connection with a mineralogical study include pyroxenes, olivines, troilite and pyrrhotite, pentlandite, kamacite, taenite, schreibersite, ilmenite, apatite, the Henderson Phase, and chromite. The results of a petrological investigation led to the conclusion that the Piancaldoli meteorite is an 'unequilibrated ordinary chondrite'.
