Well, perhaps no because the encapsulated meteorite is a different
classification, meaning that it (perhaps) had a different origin or came
from another main body. The Regoliths and Breccia's are certainly compacted
broken materials but if a 20 gram chondrite was found embedded inside one,
that would be the same thing we are talking about here, would it not? And
how many Graphite nodules make it to earth as meteorites? I do not know that
answer to that.

Thanks,
CharlyV

"Not trying to be picky about terminology, but would not "meteor within a
meteorite" be the scientifically correct statement here? OR, just the fact
that it was encapsulated still makes it a meteorite, since it made it to the
ground."

Good in theory, but wouldn't that same principle make the center of any
meteorite a meteor? All of the regroths and breccias, and even graphite
nodules would fit into that category, would they not?

Thanks, Tom
