Change title:

Oxygen isotope composition of ordinary and R chondrites. Data for ordinary chondrites from Clayton et al. (1991). Data for R chondrites from: Weisberg et al. (1991), Schultze et al. (1994), Jackel et al. (1996),Kallemeyn et al. (1996), Weber et al. (1997), Bischoff et al. (1998), McBride et al. (2003). Entry for NWA 1668, Met. Bull. 88. Δ¹⁷O calculated as: Δ¹⁷O = δ¹⁷O – 0.52δ¹⁸O
