Scientific paper

On the basis of O-18/O-16 and O-17/O-16 ratios, meteorites and planets can be grouped into at least six categories, as follows: (1) the terrestrial group, consisting of the earth, moon, differentiated meteorites, and enstatite chondrites; (2) types L and LL ordinary chondrites; (3) type H ordinary chondrites; (4) anhydrous minerals of C2, C3, and C4 carbonaceous chondrites; (5) hydrous matrix minerals of C2 carbonaceous chondrites; and (6) the ureilites. Objects of one category cannot be derived by fractionation or differentiation from the source materials of any other category.
