317 Roxane is a typical Main belt asteroid.

It was discovered by Auguste Charlois on September 11, 1891 in Nice, and was at first named Roxana. [Charlois, A.; [http://articles.adsabs.harvard.edu/full/1893AN....132..175C "Benennung von kleinen Planeten"] , Astronomische Nachrichten, Vol. 132, No. 3155, p. 175]

Recently, a team identified 317 Roxane as the closest known spectroscopic match for the Peña Blanca Spring meteorite that impacted in a swimming pool in Texas in 1946. There is a possibility, therefore, that 317 Roxane is from the parent object as this meteorite. [Fornasier, S. et al.; [http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.icarus.2008.02.015 "Visible and near infrared spectroscopic investigation of E-type asteroids, including 2867 Steins, a target of the Rosetta mission"] , Icarus, Vol. 196, No. 1, p. 119-134]
