Subject	has origin	has texture	has nucleation mechanism	has definition	has composition	has abundance	has acronym	is a kind of
ferromagnesian chondrule				chondrule with a high abundance of olivine and pyroxene crystals	ferromagnesian minerals	most chondrules are ferromagnesian		chondrule
porphyritic chondrule	extensively melted droplet in which abundant heterogenous nucleation sites were preserved during the chondrule melting event		relict grains consisting of remnant crystals less than 10 microns in size		glass	most abundant part of chondrite meteorite		chondrule
