The shop offers a wide range of Lunar and Martian meteorites along with many rare achondrites and chondrites. |
They are sometimes referred to as enstatite achondrites and might somehow be related to the enstatite chondrites. |
Based on their texture, stone meteorites are divided into two types, the chondrites and the achondrites. |
Most chondrites are characterized by small spherical globules of silicate, known as chondrules. |
Similarly, there exists the potential for finding ancient samples from Mars or even Venus, as well as unweathered carbonaceous chondrites. |
My research has largely been in the chemistry of how the particular components of chondrites, very primitive meteorites, actually formed in the solar nebula. |
