That's right. Some meteoriticists think so because the undifferentiated
angrite parent body may have had an RB/Sr ratio similar to the average
for CM chondrites. For further details, see:

NYQUIST L.E. et al. (1994) Neodymium, Strontium and Chromium
Isotopic Studies of the LEW 86010 and Angra dos Reis Meteorites
and the Chronology of the Angrite Parent Body (Meteoritics 29-6,
1994, 872-885).

JUREWICZ A.J.G.et al. (1992) Can Angrite LEW 87051 be produced
by partial melting of a CV or CM chondrite? (Lun. Planet. Sci. 23,
641-642).


Best wishes,

Bernd
