摘要
A single stone weighing about 1.6 kg fell in Kaprada village of south Gujarat, India in October, 2004. It has been studied for mineralogy, petrography, chemical and isotopic composition and cosmogenic effects. The olivine is 23.7% fayalite. The petrography, bulk chemistry and oxygen isotopic composition indicate that it belongs to L(5/6) group of chondrites. The cosmic ray exposure age of the meteorite is estimated to be 11.4 Ma based on He, Ne and At isotopes. A trapped nitrogen amount of 0.25 ppm with delta N-15=4.7 +/- 0.3 parts per thousand is typical of ordinary chondrites of higher metamorphic grade. The gas retention ages, based on U/Th-He-4 and K-Ar-40 are calculated to be 2.6 and 4.1 Ga, respectively. Cosmic ray track data indicate that the pre-atmospheric radius of the meteorite was about 7 cm, and about 75% mass was ablated during its journey through the Earth's atmosphere.
