Description: Chondrite stony meteorite from the Al Haggounia, Morocco strike whose field is about 40 square kilometers.Stony meteorites that have not been altered by heat or gravity and that contain some tiny "chondrules" are known as chrondrites.They formed when various types of dust and small grains that were present in the early solar system gathered together to form early asteroids.Chondrules, millimeter-sized objects that originated as freely floating, molten or partially molten droplets in space are among the oldest objects to form in the solar system.Embedded in this dust are grains which predate the formation of our solar system and originated elsewhere in the galaxy.Because chondrites accumulated from material that formed very early in the history of the solar system, and because chondritic asteroids did not melt, they have very primitive compositions and are by far the most common type of meteorite to fall on Earth.Most meteorites that are recovered on Earth are chondrites and about 90% of all falls that have been whitnessed are chondrites.The largest individual stone ever recovered, weighing 3900 pounds, was part of the Jilin meteorite shower of 1976. Chondrite falls range from single stones to extraordinary showers consisting of thousands of individual stones, as occurred in the Holbrook fall of 1912, where an estimated 14,000 stones rained down on northern Arizona.
