actually quite a large collection (about 15% of the total) of over 100 meteorites that do not fit into any of the larger classes above, and come from about 50 distinct parent bodies. Additional groups and grouplets are discussed in the scientific literature: IIG: Hexahedrites with coarse schreibersite. Meteoric iron has low nickel concentration. Magmatic and nonmagmatic (primitive) irons The iron meteorites were previously divided into two classes: magmatic irons and non magmatic or primitive irons. Now this definition is deprecated. Stony–iron meteorites There are also specific categories for mixed-composition meteorites, in which iron and 'stony' materials are combined.
