Chondrules have been observed in several breccia samples returned by the Apollo 14 mission. These lunar chondrules are believed to have formed during a large impact event, perhaps the one that formed the Imbrian Basin. This suggests that some meteoritic chondrules are also formed by impact processes such as crystallization after shock melting and abrasion and diffusion in base-surge and fall-back deposits generated by impacts on planetary surfaces.
在阿波罗 14 号任务带回的几个角砾岩样本中观察到了球粒。这些月球球粒据信是在一次大型撞击事件中形成的，也许就是形成了雨海盆地的那次撞击。这表明，一些陨石球粒也是通过冲击过程形成的，例如冲击熔融后的结晶、冲击在行星表面产生的基底涌浪和回降沉积物中的磨损和扩散。
