[meteorite-list] metachondrite

[Greg Stanley]

I understand a metachondrite to be a chondrite that has undergone metamorphism resulting in recrystalization. The composition is much the same as in the original chondrite. There are different affinities, such as 'H' 'L' or 'LL'. I think there are others including E's and 'C' chondrites.

I think they are a very interesting group of meteorites.
