Generally all meteorites can be really pieces of stars. Whoever or whatever created the universe was quite smart and developed a sort of cosmic recycling. Really in theory all the matter in the universe was created at the big bang and I think no new matter is ever or will ever be created in this universe again (I could be wrong). So if you look at things that way not only are meteorites pieces of recycled stars but we human beings are as well. I wont get too in depth as I want to save it for my article but an interestring insight.
