It is believed that most of the achondrites They come from the asteroid Vesta, located in the asteroid belt. This asteroid has a crust made up of silicates and a core made up of Fe and Ni, that is, it has undergone magmatic differentiation, and has an impact crater that occupies a large surface of the asteroid. This meteorite impact generated a large amount of ejecta (the material projected in the formation of a crater), and some of it has fallen on our planet.​
