Most meteorites are stony meteorites, divided into the chondrites (containing small round particles) and the achondrites (lacking these particles). Others are the more rare, metallic meteorites.
A small number (about 5%) of meteorites have both stony and metallic features, and these are referred to as "stony-iron" meteorites, which contain iron, nickel, and/or silicates.
Another meteoric form is tektites, containing volcanic-type glasses formed from the high temperatures before and after impact.
