    1300 Marcelle, provisional designation 1934 CL, is a carbonaceous asteroid from the outer region of the asteroid belt, about 28 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered on 10 February 1934 by French astronomer Guy Reiss at the Algiers Observatory in Algeria, North Africa.[11]

    The C-type asteroid, classified as a Cg-type subtype in the SMASS taxonomy, orbits the Sun at a distance of 2.8–2.8 AU once every 4 years and 8 months (1,695 days). Its orbit shows an eccentricity of 0.01 and is tilted by 10 degrees to the plane of the ecliptic. It has a rotation period of 12 hours[9] and an albedo in the range of 0.07 to 0.10, as observed by the Infrared Astronomical Satellite, IRAS, the Japanese satellite Akari, and the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer with its subsequent NEOWISE mission.[4][6][7][8]

    The asteroid was named after the third daughter of the discoverer, Marcelle Reiss.[2] The discoverer also named 1237 Geneviève and 1376 Michelle after two of his daughters.
