Hi, Mel, List, The recipe for a universe is simple. Start with a batch of hot particles. Let them cool until they combine into hydrogen atoms. As they cool, some will fuse and make some helium. Now you have a universe of 75% hydrogen and 25% helium gas. Boring. Let the gas gather by

Good point; and seeing as such meteorites haven't been reclassified/re-typed, it seems as though this brings up a very valid flaw in the classification system of basaltic achondrites. Perhaps there are some scientists out there who can shed some light on why meteorites such as these are called
