Petrographic studies and microprobe analyses on Type 3 and 4 carbonaceous chondrites reveal two distinct sub-types, provisionally called the Vigarano sub-type and the Ornans sub-type. The most obvious diagnostic distinction between the sub-types is textural. The chondrites belonging to the Vigarano sub-type may be characterized as having large (1–2 mm dia.) ‘spongy’ chondrules embedded in an abundant, fine-grained, opaque matrix; ‘spongy’ chondrules contain numerous spheroidal droplets of nickel-iron or sulfide dispersed throughout the silicate chondrule. The chon-drites belonging to the Ornans sub-type may be characterized as a close-packed aggregate of small (0.2–0.5 mm dia.) metal-poor chondrules with fine-grained, opaque matrix packed between the chondrules.
