ZOLENSKY M. et al. (2001) Kaidun: A smorgasbord of new asteroid samples (MAPS 36-9, 2001, A233): A typical Kaidun thin section (1 cm aross), exhibiting an incredible clast diversity. A few of the identified clasts are: (a) impact melt, (d) CM1 chondrite, (b) enstatite chondrite, (e) Tagish Lake-type chondrite, (c) CI chondrite, (f) CM2 chondrite. The remaining clasts are unidentified.
