Some of the meteorites that had been found in Antarctica however, were of a very strange type, for they matched closely rocks brought back from the Moon. That is in fact where they were from. This demonstrated that meteorites could come from a large planet- like body, not just be blown off a small asteroid. This made people look with new eyes at a small grouping of meteorites that had perplexed experts for decades.

Meteorites are named from the places where they have fallen. Accordingly, a meteorite that fell in Chassigny, France, acquired that name, so likewise did the fatal meteorite that fell in Nakhla, Egypt, and finally the one that fell near Shergotty, India. These three meteorites were thus called the SNC (Shergotty Nakhla Chassigny) meteorites. They not only had similar mineralogy, but similar isotopes.

Oxygen occurs in three stable isotopes, of atomic weights 16, 17, and 18 units, and the ratio of these among each other is like a mathematical fingerprint. Oxygen 16 is the most abundant isotope so it is used as a reference; the ratio of the abundance of oxygen 17 to the amount of 18 is what is key. Using oxygen isotopes, one can plot a map and place everything that falls out of the sky on it. Meteorites form tight clusters or lines on such a graph when the 17 to 18 ratio is plotted.
