ACHONDRITES
Achondrite meteorites are stone metoerites which do not show any
chondrules. They may, however, have round clasts or other spherical crystals
that have grown out of re-melted, metamorphosed material. This can cause
confusion. One clue is that achondrites very rarely contain any visible
metal. |
