| 1. | Most meteorites are stony meteorites, classed as chondrites and achondrites.
|
| 2. | CHUR was determined by analysing chondrite and achondrite meteorites.
|
| 3. | Could be an achondrite with anorthosite.
|
| 4. | It occurs as an interstitial mineral phase between silicate minerals in enstatite chondrite and achondrite meteorites.
|
| 5. | Most achondrites are also ancient rocks, and are thought to represent crustal material of differentiated planetesimals.
|
| 6. | All other meteorites are achondrites : volcanic rocks from planets or asteroids large enough to have a molten core.
|
| 7. | This time it's Russell, and the meteorite is an achondrite _ though probably not from Mars.
|
| 8. | It was discovered in 1982 during the chemical analysis of The North Haig olivine pigeonite achondrite ( ureilite ).
|
| 9. | Some scientists propose that many aubrites and enstatite achondrites are in fact impact breccias or impact-melt breccias.
|
| 10. | Should the onset of melting occur the meteorite would probably be classified as a primitive achondrite instead of a chondrite.
