Hello=2C Greg and list.=20

>From what I understand - chondrules can't form on bodies that have or have =
had been (such as rocky planets and asteroids like Vesta)=2C geologically a=
ctive - because the material has been so heavily processed.. The iron and n=
ickle which are heavier than the rocky/silicate=2C are driven to the core b=
y gravity when it was molten.=20

The last paragraph of your message pretty much answers your question. =3B)=
=20

> It seems to me that chondrules are prevalent in meteorites blasted from a=
steroidal bodies and not from planetary bodies. For example=2C do chondrule=
s exist (or have been found) on any meteorites from the moon=2C mars or may=
be from Mercury (Angrites?)? Now I understand that these are called achondr=
ites=2C and thus they do not have chondrules=2C but it seems that chondrite=
s are only from asteroidal bodies (or perhaps comets). With that said=2C m=
aybe there is a relationship between formation of rock without gravity (or =
a very small amount of gravity)=3B chondrules form initially during the for=
mation of the solar system=2C and then later over millions of years are alt=
ered on planetary bodies under a gravitational force.
