- Which meteorites are the most useful for defining the age of the solar system? Why?arrow_forwardConsider the differentiated meteorites. We think the irons are from the cores, the stony-irons are from the interfaces between mantles and cores, and the stones are from the mantles of their differentiated parent bodies. If these parent bodies were like Earth, what fraction of the meteorites would you expect to consist of irons, stony-irons, and stones? Is this consistent with the observed numbers of each? (Hint: You will need to look up what percent of the volume of Earth is taken up by its core, mantle, and crust.)arrow_forwardWhy do astronomers refer to carbonaceous chondrites as unmodified or primitive material?arrow_forward
