Equilibrated and unequilibrated ordinary chondrites
Beenham (New Mexico), the unequilibrated ordinary
chondrite on the right, has a mottled gray interior consisting mostly of
chondrules; bright silver specks of metal can also be seen. Khohor (Uttar
Pradesh, India), the metamorphosed equilibrated chondrite on the left, has
a white interior which contrasts sharply with its dark fusion crust.
