Ordinary chondrite, unequilibrated (H3.4;S3)
Fall of April 1, 1921; 1.265 kg weight.

After a whirring sound, a stone was seen to fall. After an initial fright, the meteorite (~11.5 x 7.5 x 6cm) was recovered from a small pit ~90 meters away. As an unequilibrated chondrite, the Sharps meteorite is characterized by prominent chondrules (compositions of both olivine and pyroxene-rich chondrules vary) plus the kamacite and troilite expected in almost all chondrites. Some small inclusions, however, represent very diverse formational components (including very Fe-poor grains) which have not been erased by metamorphic activity.
