description Overview
Ivuna
Ivuna is a CI1 carbonaceous chondrite that fell near Ivuna, Tanzania, in 1938. CI meteorites are rare, chemically primitive materials whose nonvolatile elemental abundances closely resemble those measured in the Sun, although their minerals have been extensively altered by water on their parent body. Ivuna is therefore studied for evidence about early solar-system chemistry, aqueous alteration, or...

Orgueil
Orgueil is a CI1 carbonaceous chondrite meteorite that fell near Orgueil in southern France on 14 May 1864. CI chondrites are chemically primitive, fine-grained rocks rich in hydrated minerals and organic compounds, and their nonvolatile elemental abundances closely resemble those measured in the solar photosphere. Because the material has undergone extensive alteration by water on its parent body...
