Class information: CK6 meteorites are members of the CK (Karoonda-type carbonaceous chondrite) group that have experienced intense thermal metamorphism on their parent asteroid. Unlike many carbonaceous chondrites, CK meteorites are highly oxidized and contain abundant magnetite, with very little metallic iron. As petrologic type 6 specimens, CK6 chondrites have undergone extensive recrystallization and chemical equilibration, causing most original chondrule textures to become blurred or nearly erased. Their combination of primitive carbonaceous chemistry and strong thermal alteration makes them important for studying how heating processes modified early Solar System materials inside carbon-rich asteroids.
