Abstract
► We examine the spectral reflectance properties of 14 CR and CR-like carbonaceous chondrites. ► CR spectra have a weak phyllosilicate absorption feature near 1.1 μm and red spectral slopes. ► The phyllosilicate absorption band becomes more resolvable with increasing aqueous alteration. ► CR spectra do not exhibit a phyllosilicate ferrous-ferric charge transfer band near 0.7 μm. ► The spectra of CR finds are all affected by terrestrial weathering products.
