Stan and others,
Acapulcoites, Brachinites, Lodranites, and Winonaites have been thought of as
being primitive achondrites that may have chondrules, especially
acapulcoites. I've always thought of these as being tweeners in between
chondrites and achondritesdifferentiated a lot, but not

I haven't seen a reply to your post yet, so I'll take a shot
Achondrites - (a-kon-drites) meteorites whose composition has been
significantly altered from the early/primative chondritic material.
Chondrules are not present.
you cant say that because some achonderites contain chondrules - i have an
end cut of dhofar 125, an acapulcoite that has a chondrule

are all impact melts breccias of melt and original matrix? if the matrix
Sorry for the long answer, but some background into why seemed
more useful than a yes or no.
Thank You.
This was verry interesting, simple to understand and about meteorites. Not
too short, but also not too long. Just a core of this case. More emails like
this :)

are all impact melts breccias of melt and original matrix? if the matrix is
totally melted is is still considered an impact melt, or does the stone
become an achonderite (a non primative achonderite, young achonderite, etc)
thanks for any clarification
Hello all,
I want to ask the group their opinion on whether they agree
with the latest book from Norton that places mesosiderites in the achondrite
section, rather than the stony-iron section of the book. As I understand it, he
"suggests" that mesosiderites are merely impact melts of the
hi list, i wrote nasa at what i think was the houston texas meteorite
collection, and got an answer from dr. john jones via his boss, i think,
allen carlton and he said at the end of his letter that we really don't
know if impact melts are rare or not on asteroids, but very common on
the moon,
why are they so expensive, hi all, why aren't they common as brecca
the make-up of a creater would seem to be half brecca and half impact
melt happy collecting david
