Ruhobobo is a new meteorite which fell in Rwanda, Africa, in 1976. We found and analyzed olivine (Fa 23.4), opx (Fs 19.7, Wo 1.4), cpx (Fs 7.5, Wo 44.0), plagioclase (An 11.7, Or 5.6), chromite, “whitlockite”, kamacite, taenite and troilite. Based on these analyses and on microscopic observation, Ruhobobo is an unshocked L6 chondrite.
