- (II) Olivine, bronzite, enstatite. Meteoric iron barely noticeable.
- (*) Chassigny
- (Sh) Shalkite: Granular. Olivine and bronzite. [[Tschermak had included this category from Rose (1863), but he discovered in 1883 that the Shalka meteorite did not contain any olivine and proposed the term "diogenite" for hypersthene achondrites.[2]]]
- (Ma) Manegaumite: Whitish tuff-like. Bronzite.
- (*) Bishopsville: White, granular. Enstatite.
- (*) Bustee: Whitish, granular. Enstatite and augite.
- (Ho) Howardite: Whitish, tuff-like. Olivine and augite? Anorthite?
- (III) Olivine and bronzite with meteoric iron. Chondrites.
- (Ch) Whitish chondritic tuffs with small blackish fragments and few spheres. Similar to howardites.
- (Cw) White masses without spheres or with whitish spheres.
- (Cwb) Same as Cw but with striking breccia-like structures.
- (Ci) Interlink between Cw and the other members of category III.
- (Cib) Same as Ci but with striking breccia-like structures.
- (Cg) Grey chondrites. Grey masses, with brighter spheres. The brown, hard, fine-fibrous spheres are missing or are few in numbers.
- (Cgb) Same as Cg but with striking breccia-like structures.
- (*) Ornans meteorite: A loose grey mass with dust-like fine spheres.
- (Cc) Chondrite with brown, hard, fine-fibrous spheres.
- (*) Tadjera meteorite: Black, half-vitreous mass.
- (Ck) Chondrites, that are predominantly out of a crystalline granular mass.
- (Ckb) Same as Ck but with striking breccia-like structures.
- (*) Lodran meteorite: Crystals of olivine and bronzite, connected by a very fine network of meteoric iron.
- (IV) Silicates and meteoric iron in granular conglomerates
- (V) Meteoric iron, that have inclusions of silicate crystals.
- (a) With shell-like composition parallel to the octahedron.
- (Of) Thin lamella. Fine Widmanstädten pattern.
- (Om) Normal lamella and patterns. Boundary of lamella is even.
- (Ok) Same as Om but boundaries are uneven.
- (Og) Wide lamella. Pattern coarse.
- (b*) Zacatecas meteorite. Consists of shell-like coarse-grained pieces.
- (c) Hb: Meteoric iron out of many simple (not shell-like) coarse-grained pieces.
- (d) H: Out of one crystal without shell-like composition.
- (e*) Capland. Seemingly dense. Dull after etching, but shows continuous stripes.
- (f) D: Granular and dense. No patterns after etching.
