Abstract: On the basis of study on petrology and chemical composition the Ningqiang chondrite is an anomalous CV3 chondrite (oxidized subgroup). It contains a high abundance of ag-gregational chondrules and a very low abundance of refractory inclusions. The isotopic abundances of the noble gases in bulk samples of the Ningqiang chondrite are measured. Ningqiang chondrite shows a cosmic ray exposure age of 42.2 ±4.0 Ma, the highest for CV3 chon-drites. The U/Th-⁴He age is 4170 ± 160 Ma whereas the ⁴⁰K-⁴⁰Ar age is 4260 ± 70 Ma which are similar to other CV3 chondrites such as Leoville.
