Almost all meteorites (about 99% by number) are samples from a few hundreds of asteroids that are leftover from planetesimals and protoplanets formed within several million years after the birth of the Solar System. These meteorites record detailed evolutionary history of dust to planets, including condensation, accretion, aqueous alteration, thermal metamorphism, partial and total melting.
