Greetings,

So Itokawa is the parent body of the LL chondrites. Asteroid Hebe is thought 
(by spectra) to be the parent body of most or all the H chondrites. Asteroid 
Eros the L4 chondrites and Asteroid Bozemcova the L6 chondrites.

Wonder if all the LL's are from Itokawa or if we have more than one parent 
body source for those??

Best!
