I understand a metachondrite to be a chondrite that has undergone metamorphism resulting in recrystalization. The composition is much the same as in the original chondrite. There are different affinities, such as 'H' 'L' or 'LL'. I think there are others including E's and 'C' chondrites.
I think they are a very interesting group of meteorites. Greg S. Sent from my iPhone On Oct 20, 2010, at 8:36 PM, Steve Dunklee <[email protected]> wrote: > What is a metachondrite?
