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 weights Amean of Siena (LL5, fall 1794), Hautes Fagnes (LL5, S1, W1, find 1965) and NWA 7915 (LL5, S2, W3, find 2010) ordinary chondrites have been determined using literature data on chemical composition of the meteorites and using relationship between mean atomic weight and Fe/Si atomic ratio (Szurgot 2015). It was shown that NWA 7915 Amean = 22.80 is close to mean atomic weight of LL chondrites (Amean = 23.00), and is close to mean atomic weight of LL chondrite falls (Amean = 22.90, Szurgot 2015). NWA 7915’s Fe/Si atomic ratio (0.529) leads to Amean = 23.28 which is close to the value determined by bulk composition. This means that NWA 7915 belongs to LL5 chondrites, as previously classified (Brawata et al. 2014). Mean atomic weight Amean of Hautes Fagnes determined by bulk composition is between 23.11 and 23.35. Lower Amean value is close to Amean of LL chondrites, but higher value is the same as Amean of intermediate L/LL chondrites (23.34 for L/LL, Szurgot 2016). Hautes Fagnes Fe/Si atomic ratio and Amean(Fe/Si) are identical with those for NWA 7915 (Fe/Si = 0.529, Amean = 23.28). Amean data indicate that Hautes Fagnes can belong to LL5 chondrites, as previously classified (Vandeginste et al. 2012) or can be one of L/LL chondrites. Mean atomic weight of Siena meteorite is much higher than expected for LL chondrite. Siena’s bulk composition gives Amean = 24.47, and Amean(Fe/Si) dependence gives Amean = 24.45 (Fe/Si = 0.7345). Using dependence between mean atomic weight and grain density (Szurgot 2015) leads to Amean = 23.24 (dgr = 3.46 g/cm3, Macke 2010), and using dependence between Amean and magnetic susceptibility (Szurgot 2016) gives Amean = 23.53±0.13 (logc = 4.65±0.09, Macke 2010). Bulk composition and Fe/Si ratio indicate that Siena has the same Amean as intermediate H/L chondrites, for which Amean = 24.3 (Szurgot 2016). Grain density indicates rather L/LL intermediate group for Siena, and magnetic susceptibility indicates intermediate L/LL or L chondrites (23.34 for L/LL, and 23.67 for L, Szurgot 2016). Mean atomic number Zmean, and Amean/Zmean ratio of the three meteorites have been also determined. Siena’s Zmean = 12.104, Hautes Fagnes Zmean = 11.445–11.562, and NWA 7915’s Zmean = 11.293. Amean/Zmean ratios are: 2.022 for Siena, 2.019–2.020 for Hautes Fagnes, and 2.019 for NWA 7915.

Mean atomic weight Amean of Sołtmany (L6, S2, W0) ordinary chondrite, various L6 chondrites such as: Jesenice, Girgenti, Leedey, Bruderheim, Holbrook and Modoc, as well as LL, L and H chondrites has been determined using literature data on chemical composition of the meteorites. Relationship between mean atomic weight and Fe/Si atomic ratio for ordinary chondrites has been established. It was shown that Sołtmany’s Amean = 23.97 is close to mean atomic weight of L chondrites Amean = 23.70, and is close to mean atomic weight of L6 chondrites Amean = 24.06±0.16. It has been established that Sołtmany’s Fe/Si atomic ratio (Fe/Si = 0.588) is close to Fe/Si ratio for L6 chondrites (Fe/Si = 0.598). This means that Sołtmany belongs to L6 chondrites, as previously classified. Using discovered by the author (Szurgot, 2015) dependence between mean atomic weight and uncompressed density of planetary matter it was established that grain density of Sołtmany meteorite should be equal to 3.56±0.12 g/cm3, which is about 4% lower than previously estimated by porosity data. Mean atomic weight of extraterrestrial minerals present in ordinary chondrites and in Sołtmany meteorite have been also determined.

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.
