“…However in recent years it has been pointed out that some stones present ambiguous characteristics, that resist defmitive classification (see e.g. Baldanza et al, 1970;Kraut and Fredriksson, 1971;Levi-Donati and Jarosewich, 1972;etc. ).…”

The fall of a meteorite shower in Parambú, Ceará State, Brazil, is described. Parambú is an L‐group chondrite (Urey and Craig, 1953). The mineralogical composition is olivine Fa28. ortho‐ and clinopyroxenes, plagioclase, maskelynite, whitlockite, nickel‐iron, troilite, chromite, and ilmenite. The structure of Parambú is characteristically polymict and shows an advanced brecciation. Interesting features of metamorphism are notable, with good evidence of shock.

“…As reported in the Meteoritical Bulletin Database (MBD), 42 is the number of meteorites recovered in Italy. Despite their small number, data from several studies suggest that Italian meteorites have represented the core of a vibrant scientific debate over the centuries (Agostini & Fioretti, 2013; Baldanza et al., 1970; Baldanza & Triscari, 1985; Barbieri et al., 1997; Bhandari et al., 1989; Bonatti et al., 1970; Cevolani, 2005; D'Orazio et al., 2004; Fioretti & Zipfel, 2004; Grier et al., 2004; Levi Donati, 1967; Levi Donati et al., 1980; Levi Donati & Jarosewich, 1971, 1972; Levi Donati & Sighinolfi, 1977; Maras et al., 1979; Marrocchi et al., 2020; Marvin & Cosmo, 2002; Moggi et al., 2017; Nozette, 1979; Tinazzi, 1994; Triscari et al., 1993; Zucchini et al., 2018). For example, the meteorite that fell on Siena in 1794 has been defined by Marvin (1995, 1998) as one of history's most consequential falls because the analysis of the recovered samples contributed to the acceptance of meteorites' cosmic origin in the early 1800s.…”

For the first time, this paper presents to the planetary scientists' community the catalog of the meteorite collection preserved at the Italian Museum of Planetary Sciences (Museo Italiano di Scienze Planetarie, henceforth MISP) in Prato (Italy). Founded in 2005, MISP is a type specimen official repository approved by the Nomenclature Committee of the Meteoritical Society. It represents one of the few museums worldwide entirely devoted to planetary sciences. The catalog of its meteorite collection encompasses 430 meteorites for a total of 1536 specimens, including 291 thin sections, 184 thick sections, and 278 specimens that MISP has classified. Furthermore, MISP is currently classifying 57 other meteorites. Some samples were found during meteorite recovery expeditions in hot deserts, promoted by MISP in collaboration with diverse Italian universities and national research institutions. MISP also keeps an impact rocks collection comprising 257 samples. In a country like Italy, where most of the collected meteorites are housed in museums whose catalogs are not available online, the publication of the MISP meteorite collection catalog, together with the catalog of the impact rocks collection, represents not only a significant scientific primary source but also a remarkable tool for disseminating meteoritics to nonresearch audiences in educational activities and citizen science projects.

Because of their numerical dominance among meteorite falls, their great age, and their primitive (i.e., quasisolar) compositions, the chondrites are central to discussions of the origin and early history of the solar system. The bibliography includes most American contributions m this field from 1967 to 1970, and this report attempts to summarize our present understanding of several problems posed by the chondrites.
