Simply explained
CO chondrites are fine-grained carbonaceous chondrites with small chondrules and commonly visible refractory inclusions. According to the linked lot description, this lot comprises 695 g in two principal stones; type material and a polished thin section were deposited for scientific classification at the Institute of Planetology in Münster. That deposited material is separate from the collector-held mass offered here.
