Classification of hydrous meteorites (CR, CM and C2 ungrouped) by phyllosilicate fraction: PSD-XRD modal mineralogy and planetesimal environments

The relative differences in the degree of hydration should be reflected in any classification scheme for aqueously altered meteorites. Here we report the bulk mineralogies and degree of hydration in 37 different carbonaceous chondrites: Renazzo-like (CR), Mighei-like (CM), and ungrouped (type 2) sam...
