A meteorite weighing about 2,799 g and more or less rhomboidal in shape fell at Valudavur, 10 miles northwest of Pondicherry, South Arcot district of Madras, India, on October 30, 1944. The Valudavur meteorite is a chondritic stony meteorite that resembles the Kroonstad meteorite in general appearance and chemical composition, and is, therefore, classified as a bronzite chondrite
