Do we have to keep an open mind to the possibility of finding a clay

Do you own a CI or a CM? Then you have a meteorite with clay minerals in it!

As I recall Tim Swindle (U of AZ) did noble gas studies of Lafayette carbonate
clays. I doubt you are going to find a big chunk of clay, it will be a minor
portion of the overall stone and may not be decernable by the naked eye.

Hi Eric:
Murchison, as an example, contains, 12% water by weight. All of this in
clay minerals. This in not a minor component.

Bob,
This is a great question.
I too would love to hear from a meteoriticist about this.
I am quite sure that Dr. Campins is an amazing Astronomy professor but does he
also study rocks FROM space?
Darren pointed out many links to Carbonaceous meteorites that clearly contain
clay but again I ask.
Hi Carl and Bob:
Humberto Campins is in the same department as Dan Britt who has written
many papers on both asteroids and meteorites (I think he is the one who
perfected the method for measuring meteorite porosities for the work
published by Brother Guy). So, yes, Humberto does talk to meteorite
