  2. Chondrule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chondrule

    Chondrules in the chondrite classification Grassland. A millimeter scale is shown. Chondrules in the Carbonaceous Chondrite NWA 13887. A chondrule (from Ancient Greek χόνδρος chondros, grain) is a round grain found in a chondrite. Chondrules form as molten or partially molten droplets in space before being accreted to their parent asteroids.

  3. Primitive achondrite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primitive_achondrite

    Primitive achondrites are a subdivision of meteorites.They are classified on the same rank (historically called "Class") and lying between chondrites and achondrites.They are called primitive because they are achondrites that have retained much of their original chondritic properties.

  4. Accretion (astrophysics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accretion_(astrophysics)

    Chondrules, metal grains, and other components likely formed in the solar nebula. These accreted together to form parent asteroids. These accreted together to form parent asteroids. Some of these bodies subsequently melted, forming metallic cores and olivine -rich mantles ; others were aqueously altered. [ 35 ]

    Their chondrules are generally in the range of 0.5 to 1 mm in diameter. Ordinary chondrites are distinguished chemically by their depletions in refractory lithophile elements, such as Ca, Al, Ti, and rare earths , relative to Si, and isotopically by their unusually high 17 O/ 16 O ratios relative to 18 O/ 16 O compared to Earth rocks.

  7. CM chondrite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CM_chondrite

    While CM chondrules are smaller than average in diameter (~300 micrometer), CO chondrules are exceptionally small (~170 um). [ 31 ] [ 32 ] This may be a survivor bias : consider that the water which dissolves CM chondrules successfully eliminates those which are already small, while those which were large may remain to be observed, though with ...

  8. CI chondrite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CI_chondrite

    The main petrologic characteristic of Type 1 chondrites, such as CIs, is the lack of recognizable chondrules, thus excepting the sample from Tagish Lake. Yet small chondrule fragments and calcium–aluminium-rich inclusions (CAIs) do occur, but are quite rare.

  9. Ordinary chondrite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordinary_chondrite

    Ordinary chondrite NWA 3189 sliced. Field of view c. 2.2 cm across. NWA 3189 has been classified as an LL3.2–3.4 ordinary chondrite ("LL" means very low total iron content; "3" refers to well-preserved chondrules – the rock has not been subjected to metamorphism intense enough to disrupt the chondritic texture).
