These materials include chondrules—tiny pieces of dust and rock that have survived from before the planets formed—and pieces of asteroids and planetesimals left behind by the planet-building process.

These meteorites don't contain chondrules - round mineral inclusions found in the most common types of meteorites, called chondrites. Instead, aubrites come from parent bodies that underwent ...

Lots of carbon, so I think we'll probably see carbonate minerals, and maybe some things we call chondrules and also calcium-aluminium inclusions, which were the very first solid materials to form ...

Within this category, chondrites are particularly notable; they contain chondrules, hardened droplets of lava that provide ...

Meteorites can vary greatly in size. While some are tiny, resembling grains of sand, others can weigh several tons. The ...

A non-carbonaceous, ordinary chondrite is made up of objects called chondrules. The name comes from the Greek word for grain and they’re small, spherical and around one millimetre in size.

The timing and duration of the accretion of meteorites and their precursors (e.g. chondrules) is a key part of this story and we have developed several extinct isotope systems (e.g. 26Al – 26Mg) to ...

If a corner of a stony meteorite has chipped off, you can often see inside small, round grains, known as chondrules, and metallic grains. The inside is often light in colour, but it can also be almost ...

Dr Jones is a world-renowned expert in how some of the first formed rocky building blocks of our Solar System – mm-sized melt droplets known as chondrules – were formed and then incorporated into ...

According to a statement issued by Nelson Mandela University, the Nqweba Meteorite is believed to be an achondritic meteorite (a stony meteorite that does not contain chondrules), specifically a ...
