A set of reference figures for point counts of chondrule volume-percent abundances chondrites have been developed, on the basis of a numerical simulation. The simulation was based on the known volume-percent abundances of chondrules having a realistic size-frequency distribution. In the process of generating and sectioning the rock samples, information was obtained regarding the variation of chondrule abundances in different thin sections of the same rock. It is shown that, regardless of the actual abundance of the chondrules, point counts of a single random section through a chondrite should have a probable error of about 1 percent. A series of computer generated chondrite thin sections is provided which shows the volume-percent chondrule densities.
