Lithological Diversity of a C-Complex Asteroid Recorded in LON 94101 CMs are the most common carbonaceous chondrite type, providing a wealth of information about the formation and aqueous alteration of primitive asteroids. Owing to their brecciated nature and possible rubble pile heritage, CMs host many lithologies. Indeed, recent results from Hayabusa2 and OSIRIS-REx have revealed a plethora of boulder types on the surface of C-complex asteroids, from which most carbonaceous chondrites are likely derived, attesting to the complex history individual asteroids have experienced. Deciphering the relationships between lithologies, particularly when drawing upon multiple meteorites remains challenging, as C-complex asteroids are very common, and multiple asteroids could be providing similar materials.
