Efremovka is a reduced CV3 carbonaceous chondrite found in Kazakhstan in 1962. It contains well-preserved chondrules and calcium-aluminum-rich inclusions, among the earliest solids known to have formed in the Solar System, as well as presolar grains inherited from material predating it. These compon...
Leoville is a CV3 carbonaceous chondrite found in Kansas and assigned to the reduced subgroup of CV meteorites. It contains chondrules, calcium-aluminum-rich inclusions, metal, and fine-grained matrix that retain evidence of early Solar System processes. Its comparatively limited thermal and aqueous...
Kaba is a carbonaceous chondrite meteorite that fell near Kaba, in present-day Hungary, in 1857. It is classified as a CV3 chondrite and is associated with the oxidized portion of the CV meteorite group, preserving primitive minerals and fine-grained material from the early solar system. Researchers...
Axtell is a CV3 carbonaceous chondrite meteorite found near Axtell, Texas, in 1943. Like other CV chondrites, it contains conspicuous chondrules and calcium-aluminum-rich inclusions, among the earliest solids formed in the Solar System. Its petrologic type 3 designation indicates that its original m...
