Mössbauer spectroscopic studies of Ordinary chondrite shows that the main iron minerals in chondrites are Fe-Ni (Kamacite/Taenite), Troilite, Olivine and Pyroxene. Presence of these minerals can be characterized as a signatures of ordinary chondrites. Mössbauer absorption areas corresponding to different phases favour its classification as H ordinary chondrites.
