Scientific paper

The presence of dark lithic clasts within meteorites can provide information concerning asteroidal regolith processes, the extent of interactions between asteroids, and the relationship between meteorite types, micrometeorites, and interplanetary dust particles. Accordingly, we have been seeking and characterizing dark clasts found within carbonaceous chondrites, unequilibrated ordinary chondrites, howardites, and eucrites. We find that unequilibrated chondrites in this study contain fine-grained, anhydrous unequilibrated inclusions, while the howardites often contain inclusions from geochemically processed, hydrous asteroids (type 1 and 2 carbonaceous chondrites). Eucrites and howardities contain unusual clasts, not easily classified.
