Scientific paper
The three major chemical classes of chondrites are briefly reviewed, and the ordinary chondrites are examined in greater detail. The ages of crystallization of basaltic meteorites and of some irons are discussed. Finally, it is argued that the time of aggregation of the ordinary chondrites overlapped that of melting and crystallization on some small planetary bodies. If the terrestrial planets grew by the accretion of asteroidal-sized bodies over perhaps 100 million years, these bodies had probably differentiated and their interiors would have been hot.
