Hi, Jason, List The word "eucrite" comes from the Greek and means "easily recognized." It was coined to describe terrestrial basalts and only later was it applied to meteorites, and to the most common of achondrites. It is no longer used for Earthly rocks. They are basalts from lava flows

I don't think there's a difference between any of these meteorites in terms of what we should call them. We just don't have consistent terminology in place. Ibitira, NWA 011, and, it appears, Bunburra Rockhole are all basaltic achondrites that seem to come from a separate parent body than oth

Good point; and seeing as such meteorites haven't been reclassified/re-typed, it seems as though this brings up a very valid flaw in the classification system of basaltic achondrites. Perhaps there are some scientists out there who can shed some light on why meteorites such as these are called Euc

Well, oxygen isotopes are one thing, but orbital data would seem to be a strange way to classify a meteorite to me; given the past four and a half billion years of collisions, things have been far too 'messed up' in the inner solar system for that to mean much; we have comets present in stable orbi
