Composition and origin
They have mineral compositions and oxygen isotope ratios very similar to the H chondrites, which makes it probable that they originate from the same parent body. The best candidate for this parent body is the S-type asteroid 6 Hebe.[1] Unlike most iron meteorites, the type IIE are thought to have been melted out of the chondritic surface of the parent asteroid by impacts during its early history.
Rarity
It is a rare type with 24 known members as of 2020.[2]

gollark: Actually, for Ryzen it has a significant performance impact because the DRAM speed controls the infinity fabric speed.
gollark: I "fixed" the problem by fully downgrading my system to the package versions of about a week ago, adding everything with "qt" in the name to the "do not update" list, and updating again.
gollark: There's a relevant bug report but it just says "Fixed" and is closed, with the comment "plasma-integration 5.7.5-2/5.7.90-2 ", and others got closed as duplicates.
