Pour les chondrites carbonées, on adoptera la classification de Wiik (1956) : (...) Groupe III : Ce groupe comprend une dizaine de chondrites (...) qui ne contiennent que 1 p. 100 d'eau et environ 0,5 p. 100 de carbone; ce dernier pourcentage ne justifie pas le terme de chondrite carbonée car certaines chondrites ordinaires, non équilibrées, en contiennent autant. 1, record 1, French, - chondrite%20carbon%C3%A9e%20%28groupe%20III%29
