About Stony Meteorites:

Stony meteorites are the most common meteorites, making up the majority of the meteorites discovered here on Earth.  They are divided into two groups: chondrites, which are some of the oldest primitive material in our entire solar system originating from large asteroids, and achondrites, which include meteorites that derived from our moon and Mars.

*Note - Lunar and Martian-originated meteorites will always be indicated as such on the listing. Any other meteorite listed will have originated from an asteroid.
