Aubrite Meteorites

Aubrites are a unique class of achondritic meteorite that represent some quite extreme formation conditions in the early solar system. Aubrites are almost all heavily brecciated, consisting of whitish enstatite, with occasional inclusions of olivines, nickel-iron, and troilite, along with impact-melted clasts seen in achondrites. They are named for the town of Aubres, France, where the first of this meteorite type was found.
