Classification schemes for these entities include ones proposed in 2003 by Krot, and in 2006 by Weisberg, which both attempt to explain reclassify "primitive" types.

Some of these entities exhibit the distinctive Thompson microstructure, which manifests itself as the Widmanstätten pattern. Another subclass of these objects is typified by extensive recrystalization; notable traceable examples include the so-called HED and SNC clans, which contain examples named for Diogenes of Apollonia and Shergotty. These entities are likely responsible for the formation of tektites. In addition to the Pallasites and achondrites, these objects include the chondrites. These rocks are conventionally superclassified into stony, iron, or stony-iron categories. For 10 points, name these objects, the remnants of rocks from space that have landed on Earth.
