Orgueil, France
Observed fall May 14, 1864
Carbonaceous Chondrite CI1, 1g
These very fragile and friable meteorites are the most primitive in terms of solar elemental composition, have the highest volatile hydrocarbons, and the highest content of water (17-22% of weight). They are chondrites that have no chondrules.
There are only nine CI1 specimens in existence, five falls including Orgueil, and four found in Antarctica.
