Carbonaceous Chondrites are a very important type of meteorite and are known to contain some of the building blocks of life on Earth.
Carbonaceous chondrites or C chondrites are a class of chondritic meteorites comprising at least 8 known groups and many ungrouped meteorites. They include some of the most primitive known meteorites. The C chondrites represent only a small proportion (4.6%) of meteorite falls.
