— The Wilder chondrite, a single stone of 1970 g, was found in southwestern Idaho in 1982. A classification of H5 is indicated by the mean compositions of olivines (Fa 18.4 ) and orthopyroxenes (Fs 16.3 ), and the narrow range in mineral compositions, recrystallized nature of the matrix, and mean Wo content of the orthopyroxenes (Wo 1.34 ).
