Hi Jeff, Inrteresting stuff indeed. One thing just caught my attention though. You mentioned that CR chondrites which are mostly type 3.00 which I have not heard of before. The Met Bull lists nearly all as CR2, some as just CR and an odd CR1. My crude understanding of type-2 vs type-3 is that

Types 2 and 3 are describing two different parameters. Type 2 (and 1) means that a meteorite has experienced aqueous alteration. Because such effects are prominent in the CI, CM and CR groups, nearly all of them are traditionally (since the 1960s) described as types 1 and 2. Types 3-6 are
