Abstract
We classified ten new ordinary chondrites found in 1993 in the Nullarbor Re gion of Western Australia, seven of which were found in the Reid area (Reid 018-024) and three in the Hughes area (Hughes 027-029). Six of these are H and four are L chondrites, with petrologic types ranging from 4 to 6 and s hock classifications from S2 to S4. All of the samples are small and, in mo st cases, heavily weathered, making pairing difficult.
