— Based on optical microscopy and electron microprobe analysis of mafic minerals, four previously poorly described ordinary chondrites from Spain are classified. The classifications of Guareña (H6), Olmedilla de Alarcón (H5) and Reliegos (L5) are confirmed. Molina is reclassified as H5, based on new data.
