  1. Kaidun--A Meteorite with Everything but the Kitchen Sink Kaidun is a complex breccia containing clasts of chondritic and achondritic meteorite fragments.

  2. Kaidun--A Meteorite with Everything but the Kitchen Sink • Bulk material most closely resembles CR chondrites • Matrix is similar to CI • Data from the different clasts support the idea of a near-continuum of asteroidal carbonaceous chondrite CM-CR-CI material • Studies of Kaidun are helping to extend the petrologic, isotopic, and trace element characteristics of known meteorite groups.
