The peculiarities of radiation ages of stony and iron meteorites, supported by consideration of possible meteoroid orbits, lead the author to the conclusion that dead comet nuclei are stony meteorite parent bodies. The further part of the paper is devoted to the key problem of meteoritics: the oriiin of chondrules and chondrites. They are approached in terms of possible recrystallization story of chondritic matrix. The distribution of elements among main mineralogical species, present in chondrites, is discussed, as well as arguments raised accounting for the nuclear reactions as they occurred inside the primary nebula or were induced by cosmic radiation.
