LL Chondrites
LL Chondrites are a type of stony meteorite that originate from the early solar system. They are characterized by their low metal content and high amounts of silicate minerals. The "LL" stands for "low iron" and "low metal," indicating their unique composition compared to other chondrite types.
These meteorites are important for scientific research because they provide insights into the conditions of the early solar system. Chondrules, which are small, round particles found within LL chondrites, offer clues about the processes that formed these ancient materials. Studying LL chondrites helps scientists understand planetary formation and the history of our solar system.
