This reveals a dark matrix embedded throughout with mm-sized, lighter-colored chondrules, tiny stony spherules found only in meteorites and not in earth rock (thus it is a chondritic meteorite). Also seen are white inclusions, up to several cm in size, ranging in shape from spherical to highly irregular or "amoeboidal."
Allendeite was discovered in a small ultrarefractory inclusion within the Allende meteorite. [2] This inclusion has been named ACM-1. [2] It is one of several scandium rich minerals that have been found in meteorites. [2] Allendeite is trigonal, with a calculated density of 4.84 g/cm 3. [2] The new mineral was found along with hexamolybdenum. [2]
Some carbonaceous chondrites, such as the Allende meteorite, contain calcium-aluminum-rich inclusions (CAIs). These are compounds that emerged early from the primeval solar nebula , condensed out and represent the oldest minerals formed in the Solar System .

Hexamolybdenum was discovered in a small ultrarefractory inclusion within the Allende meteorite. [4] This inclusion has been named ACM-1. [4] Hexamolybdenum is hexagonal, with a calculated density of 11.90 g/cm 3. [4] The new mineral was found along with allendeite. [4] These minerals, are believed to demonstrate conditions during the early ...
