The characteristics and possible origin of the chondrite ALH85085 are discussed. It is found that the metal silicate, and sulfide compositions of ALH85085 are similar to those in CM-CO and Al Rais-Renazzo chondrites. High siderophile abundances and volatile depletion are observed. It is found that ALH85085 agglomerated when temperatures in the nebula were near 1000 K, in the same region where Renazzo, Al Rais, and the CI chondrites formed. It is suggested that ALH85085 was annealed and lightly shocked after agglomeration. C1 and other clasts were subsequently incorporated during late-stage brecciation.
