Ordinary chondrite

Japanese: オーディナリーコンドライト - おーでぃなりーこんどらいと
Ordinary chondrite

...Iron meteorites, stony-iron meteorites, and achondrites belong to the latter category. Chondrites are classified into enstatite (E) chondrites, ordinary (O) chondrites (consisting of three types: H, L, and LL), and carbonaceous (C) chondrites, depending on the amount of metallic iron and total iron they contain. O chondrites are numbered from 1 to 6 according to the degree of thermal metamorphism after formation, and the number is added to the end of H, L, or LL, resulting in H6.

From [Chondrite]

...A meteorite containing spherical material (chondrules, also written as chondrules, called spherules) with a size of about 0.05 to 5 mm. Also called a chondrite meteorite. Chondrites are considered to be undifferentiated material from the early stage of the formation of the solar system because their chemical composition is similar to that of the sun, except for gas components such as H and He. The absolute age based on radioisotopes gives them an age of 4.55 to 4.65 billion years, which is older than rocks on the Earth and Moon, and older than other meteorites. For these reasons, chondrites are considered to be the original material of the solar system, including planets, moons, and meteorites. ...

…鉄隕石,石鉄隕石,エコンドライトは後者に属する。コンドライトは,含まれる金属鉄,全鉄量によりエンスタタイト(E)コンドライト,オーディナリー(O)コンドライト(H,L,LLの3種よりなる)および炭素質(C)コンドライトに分類される。Oコンドライトは形成後の熱変成の度合の低い方から高い方へ1より6の番号を付け,これをH,L,LLの後につけてH6というふうに分類される。…

【コンドライト】より

…0.05~5mmほどの大きさの球状物質(コンドルール。コンドリュールとも表記され,球粒という)を含む隕石。球粒隕石ともいう。コンドライトはその化学組成が,HやHeなどのガス成分を除けば,太陽の化学組成と類似しているために,太陽系形成初期の未分化物質と考えられている。放射性同位体による絶対年代も45.5億~46.5億年を与え,地球や月の岩石よりも古く,また他の隕石よりも古い年齢をもつ。これらのためにコンドライトは,惑星,衛星,隕石などを含む太陽系の始源物質とみなされている。…
