449 hamburga was identified as one of three asteroids that were likely to be a parent body for chondrites along with 304 olga and 335 roberta. all three asteroids were known to have low-albedo (not reflect as much light) and be close to "meteorite producing resonances". chrondrites are the most common type of meteor found on earth, accounting for over 80% of all meteors. they are named for the tiny spherical silicate particles that are found inside them (those particles are called chondrules).
