Quibble:
"Part of the group classified as HED meteorites for their mineral content (Howardite, Eucrite, Diogenite), ..."
This makes it sound as if Howardite, Eucrite, and Diogenite are types of minerals. I know this is not what was intended, but the wording is ambiguous. Rather:
"Part of the group classified as HED (Howardite, Eucrite, Diogenite) meteorites, based on their similar mineral content (clinopyroxene, plagioclase,olivine).
