Jeff Grossman kindly wrote to Mike Farmer:

"Petrologically, Moss is a CO3. It contains chondrules, CAIs, AOIs, and
metal/sulfide grains in the appropriate size range ... The distribution
of chondrule types is typical for a CO3".

Just in case list members have been asking themselves what
AOIs are. If I am not mistaken this is an acronym for:

A-moeboid
O-livine
I-nclusion

.. not sure though!


Carbonaceously,

Bernd
