An achondritic stony meteorite rich in diopside and olivine.  3, record 2, English, - nakhlite

Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 CONT

The nakhlites (also known as augite–olivine achondrites) consist of approximately 80% by weight of the mineral augite, and about 14% by weight of iron-rich olivine. Their textures suggest they formed within cooling magmas. Nakhlites belong to the class of SNC [Shergotty, Nakhla, and Chassigny] meteorites, which are thought to come from Mars.  2, record 2, English, - nakhlite

A diverse class of chondrites (one of the two divisions of stony meteorites), important because of the insights they provide into the early history of the solar system.  2, record 3, English, - carbonaceous%20chondrite

Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 CONT

[These chondrites] comprise about 3 percent of all meteorites collected after being seen to fall to Earth. Carbonaceous chondrites are subdivided into six well-established groups—CI, CM, CV, CO, CR, and CK—based on their bulk chemistry, petrology, and oxygen isotopic compositions.  2, record 3, English, - carbonaceous%20chondrite

Carbonaceous chondrites show very little metamorphism but display evidence of chemical alteration by water, which continued after their formation, suggesting the parent body was rocky material mixed with ice. They contain a varied suite of organic compounds ... and a high content of inert gases.  3, record 3, English, - carbonaceous%20chondrite
