Based on mineralogical, chemical, and oxygen isotope data, Kamargaon is classified as an L-chondrite. Homogeneous olivine (Fa: 25 \u00b1 0.7) and low-Ca pyroxene (Fs: 21 \u00b1 0.4) compositions with percent mean deviation of <2, further suggest that Kamargaon is a coarsely equilibrated, petrologic type 6 chondrite. Kamargaon is thermally metamorphosed with an estimated peak metamorphic temperature of ~800 \u00b0C as determined by two-pyroxene thermometry. Shock metamorphism studies suggest that this meteorite include portions of different shock stages, e.g., S3 and S4 (St\u00f6ffler et al. ); however, local presence of quenched metal-sulfide melt within shock veins\/pockets suggest disequilibrium melting and relatively higher shock stage of up to S5 (Bennett and McSween ). Based on noble gas isotopes, the cosmic-ray exposure age is estimated as 7.03 \u00b1 1.60 Ma and nitrogen isotope composition (\u03b415N = 18\u2030) also correspond well with the L-chondrite group. The He-U, Th, and K-Ar yield younger ages (170 \u00b1 25 Ma 684 \u00b1 93, respectively) and are discordant. A loss of He during the resetting event is implied by the lower He-U and Th age. Elemental ratios of trapped Ar, Kr, and Xe can be explained through the presence of a normal Q noble gas component. Relatively low activity of 26Al (39 dpm\/kg) and the absence of 60Co activity suggest a likely low shielding depth and envisage a small preatmospheric size of the meteoroid (<10 cm in radius). The Kr isotopic ratios (82Kr\/84Kr) further argue that the meteorite was derived from a shallow depth.\"\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ray, D., Mahajan, R. R., Shukla, A.
