Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Achondrites are stony meteorites that do not contain chondrules or volatiles and appear to have been melted after formation, resulting in a texture that looks like solidified lava. Carbonaceous chondrites, on the other hand, do contain chondrules and volatiles, and breccias are a type of meteorite made up of different rock fragments. Widmanstätten and Kuiper belt objects are not types of meteorites.
