Studies on the aerolite fragments from Baisha crater, Hainan Island prove that they belong to calcium-rich achondrite which are relicts of cratering meteorite of the Baisha crater.These flat-ball shaped aerolite fragments, size being 21cm×18.5cm×8.7cm, were found in a creek within the Baisha crater. This hard aerolite weigh 3.75 kg with a density of 3.46g/cm<sub>3</sub>. It is mantled by a 0.1-0.5cm thick ,brown shell and its fresh section is dark-grey. The aerolite is characterized by porphyritic texture and no spherulitic texture has been found. Microscopic examination, X-ray diffraction analysis and electronic probe
