Genge call them "vesicles") are most abundant in the CCs but should also occur in eucrites (up to about 50 vol%). With regard to the carbonaceous chondrites, their occurrence suggests formation by evaporation and degassing of C, H, S, and H2O. Reference: GENGE M.J. et al. (1999) The fusion crusts of stony meteorites: implications for the atmospheric reprocessing of extraterrestrial materials (MAPS 34-3, 1999, 341-356).
