Mean atomic weight Amean of Ensisheim (LL6, fall 1492) ordinary chondrite has been determined using literature data on chemical composition of the meteorite and using relationships: between mean atomic weight and Fe/Si atomic ratio, between Amean and grain density, and between Amean and magnetic susceptibility (Szurgot 2015a–f, 2016a, b, d, e). It was shown that Ensisheim’s Amean = 23.32, and 23.06 for composition without water, and with H2O, respectively. These values are close to the mean atomic weight of LL chondrite falls (Amean = 23.36, and 23.03), and are close to Amean values of LL6 chondrite falls (Amean = 23.30, and 23.06, Szurgot 2016b). Ensisheim’s Fe/Si atomic ratio (0.509) leads to Amean = 23.16±0.12 which is close to the values determined by bulk composition. This means that Ensisheim belongs to LL6 chondrites, as previously classified (Jarosewich i Dodd 1985). Using dependence between mean atomic weight and grain density (Szurgot 2015a–c, 2016d) leads to Amean = 23.70±0.54 (dgr = 3.52±0.04 g/cm3, Macke 2010), and using dependence between Amean and magnetic susceptibility (Szurgot 2016a, d) gives Ameanc = 22.78±0.24 (logc = 4.15±0.09, Macke 2010). Arithmetic mean Amean (dgr) and Amean (logc) gives 23.24±0.65, and arithmetic mean of Amean (dgr), Amean (logc), and Amean(Fe/Si), gives 23.21±0.46 values close each other, and close to Amean(bulk composition) determined using compositional data. Mean atomic number Zmean, and Amean/Zmean ratio of the meteorite have been also determined. Ensisheim’s Zmean = 11.51 for composition without H2O, and 11.40 for composition with H2O. Amean/Zmean ratios are: 2.026 and 2.023, for composition without water, and with H2O, respectively. Ensisheim’s silicates shown values: Amean = 22.19, Zmean = 10.97, Amean/Z mean = 2.022, Fe/Si = 0.355, Amean(Fe/Si) = 22.28, and Fe, Ni metal values: Amean = 57.26, Zmean = 26.96, and Amean/Z mean = 2.124.

Mean atomic weight Amean of Vicência (LL3.2 S1W0, fall 2013) ordinary chondrite has been calculated using literature data (Keil et al. 2015) on chemical composition of the meteorite and using relationships: between mean atomic weight and Fe/Si atomic ratio, between Amean and grain density, and between Amean and magnetic susceptibility. It was shown that Vicência’s Amean = 22.91 for composition without water. This value is close to the mean atomic weight of LL chondrite falls, is close to Amean value of LL3 chondrite falls, and is close to Amean value of Semarkona LL3.0 chondrite. Vicência’s Fe/Si atomic ratio (0.492±0.050) leads to Amean = 23.06–23.26, which is close to the value determined by bulk composition. Vicência’s Fe/Si atomic ratio is close to the value for Semarkona’s (Fe/Si = 0.511), and is close to LL’s mean Fe/Si ratio (0.520). This confirms that Vicência belongs to LL chondrites, as previously classified. Using dependence between mean atomic weight and grain density leads to Amean = 21.89±0.54 (dgr = 3.28 g/cm3, Keil et al. 2015), and using dependence between Amean and magnetic susceptibility gives Amean = 23.01±0.24 (logc = 4.30, Keil et al. 2015). Arithmetic mean of Amean (dgr), Amean (logc), and Amean(Fe/Si), gives 22.72±0.73, the value close to Amean(bulk composition) determined using compositional data. Mean atomic number Zmean, and Amean/Zmean ratio of the meteorite have been also calculated. Vicência’s Zmean = 11.37, and Amean/Zmean ratio is: 2.015 for composition without water. Vicência’s silicates shown the values: Amean = 21,67, Zmean = 10.76, Amean/Z mean = 2.014, Fe/Si = 0.318, Amean(Fe/Si) = 22.07–22.18, and Fe, Ni metal values: Amean = 56.63, Zmean = 26.53, and Amean/Z mean = 2.135. Two dependences: i) grain density dgr on Amean, and ii) grain density dgr on Fe/Si atomic ratio, were used to determine/verify grain density of Vicência chondrite. It was established that dgr(Amean) leads to the values: 3,42 g/cm3 for Vicência chondrite, 3,25 g/cm3 for silicates, and 7,90 g/cm3 for Fe, Ni metal of Vicência meteorite. Dependence dgr(Fe/Si) predicts density for Vicência chondrite: 3,47–3,49 g/cm3, and for silicates: 3,32–3,35 g/cm3.

Mean atomic weight Amean of Jezersko (H4 S2(3) W2, find in 1992 in Slovenia) ordinary chondrite has been calculated using literature data on chemical composition of the meteorite (Miler et al. 2014) and using relationship between mean atomic weight and Fe/Si atomic ratio (Szurgot 2015c, d, e). It was shown that Jezersko’s Amean = 24.68, for composition without water. This value is close to the mean atomic weight of H chondrite finds (Amean = 24.80), and is somewhat smaller than Amean values for H4 chondrite falls (Amean = 25.09), and for H chondrite falls (Amean = 25.05) (Szurgot 2015e). Jezersko’s Fe/Si atomic ratio (0.742) leads to Amean = 24.66±0.24, which is close to the value determined by bulk composition. Jezersko’s Fe/Si atomic ratio is close to the value for H’s mean Fe/Si ratio: 0.762 for finds, and 0.807 for falls (Szurgot 2016a). This confirms that Jezersko belongs to H chondrites, as previously classified (Miler et al. 2014). Mean atomic number Zmean, and Amean/Zmean ratio of the meteorite have been also calculated. Jezersko’s Zmean = 12.16, and Amean/Zmean ratio is: 2.029 for composition without water. Jezersko’s silicates shown the values: Amean = 21.77, Zmean = 10.78, Amean/Z mean = 2.019, Fe/Si = 0.272, Amean(Fe/Si) = 21.84±0.06, and Jezersko’s Fe,Ni metal values: Amean = 56.12, Zmean = 26.19, and Amean/Z mean = 2.143. Two dependences: i) grain density dgr on Amean (Szurgot 2015a), and ii) grain density dgrain on Fe/Si atomic ratio (Szurgot 2017g), were used to predict grain density of Jezersko chondrite. It was established that dgr(Amean) leads to the values: 3.65±0.07 g/cm3 for Jezersko chondrite, 3.27±0.07 g/cm3 for silicates, and 7.83±0.07 g/cm3 for Fe,Ni metal of Jezersko meteorite. Dependence dgr(Fe/Si) predicts somewhat higher value grain density for Jezersko chondrite: 3.68±0.07 g/cm3, and 3.32±0.07 g/cm3 for silicates. All the predictions lead to the mean value of grain density for its weathering W2 degree: 3.67±0.03 g/cm3 for the whole rock of meteorite, and 3.29±0.03 g/cm3 for the silicates. It was established that due to terrestrial weathering, resulting in W2 weathering stage, Amean value of Jezersko chondrite is about 0.45 lower, Fe/Si atomic ratio is about 0.075 lower, and dgrain is about 0.06 g/cm3 lower than values for unweathered (W0) meteorite. Predicted porosity for Jezersko chondrite is: 10,1±0,7% for W2, and 11,5±0,5% for W0.
