E-type chondrites
Enstatite chondrites (E-type chondrites) are a rare form of meteorite, rich in the mineral enstatite. Only about 200 E-Type chondrites are currently[when?] known,[1] comprising about 2% of the chondrites that fall on Earth.[1] There are two main subtypes: EH and EL, classified based on their iron content.
