Hello Ed, All,
I have my doubs about that (no real proof yet...), but in any case, even assuming that they are "burned out comets," you should be making a clear distinction between the snowballs of the outer solar system and the "burned out" cometary asteroids of the inner solar system.
They're different things. Clearly.
Regards,
Jason

Hi Jason,
I think Clube and Napier would argue that all
carbonaceous chondritic asteroids are captured burned
out comets. From what I understand of Horace
Shapely's work, he held similar views.
good hunting,
Ed
