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