  We present analysis of Chandra X-ray Observatory data detailing a galactic
supernova remnant, G272.2-3.2. A clear shell of emission has been resolved for
the first time as a series of filaments and knots around the entire rim of the
remnant. Spectral analysis of these features show that they are consistent with
shock heating of interstellar material in a clumpy medium. Spatially separated
from this shell we see a central diffuse region dominated by harder, hotter
emission. Spatial spectroscopy shows a clear enhancement of metals consistent
with a Type Ia explosion, namely S, Si, and Fe. We find no clear evidence for a
compact object or pulsar wind nebula and argue for a Type Ia origin.
Consideration of the ionization timescales suggest an age of 8700 years for
G272.2-3.2.
