Abstract
Abstract— The Galkiv chondrite is a single 5 kg stone that fell in the Chernigov region of Ukraine on 1995 January 12. The composition of olivines in the meteorite indicate that Galkiv belongs to the H group of ordinary chondrites. Although the heterogeneity of olivine corresponds to a petrologic type 5 and the heterogeneity of low‐Ca pyroxene suggests the chondrite is type 3, clearly defined chondrule boundaries, the presence of clinopyroxene, cryptocrystalline glass and rare grains of feldspatic plagioclase, structural evidences of shock metamorphism and very low level of terrestrial weathering allow us to classify the meteorite as an H4 chondrite of shock stage S3 and weathering grade WO.
