Of the various minerals present in carbonaceous chondrite inclusions, spinel is the most spectrally significant; it is generally more Fe-rich than other major minerals, exhibiting intense ferrous Fe absorption bands even when Fe content is low. This unique significance is here noted in the case of the reflectance spectra of calcium-aluminum inclusions (CAIs). Mineralogical and petrological considerations point to the prominence of CAI spectral features in CO3 carbonaceous chondrite reflectance spectra. Spectral data for the K class asteroid 221 Eos exhibits no clear evidence of CAI spectral features.
