41. Chondrites are common but hardly ordinary.42. It was a rare meteorite called a carbonaceous chondrite , rich in water and organic chemicals. 43. Typical carbonaceous chondrite substance tends to be dissolved with water rather quickly unless it is frozen. 44. The chondrules in a chondrite that is assigned a " 3 " have not been altered. 45. It occurs as an interstitial mineral phase between silicate minerals in enstatite chondrite and achondrite meteorites. 46. It was officially named " Elbert " and it was classified as an ordinary chondrite LL6. 47. In the 1970s I began to discover that Earth is instead like an enstatite chondrite meteorite. 48. The Ca / Si ratio of 0.057 is the lowest of all carbonaceous chondrites . 49. That was not the case with previous carbonaceous chondrites found in the Antarctic and the African desert. 50. Type 7 chondrites have experienced the highest temperatures possible, short of that required to produce melting.
