We studied the Antarctic Meteorite Thin Section Educational Set which had been prepared by the National Institute of Polar Research (NIPR), Tokyo, Japan. We reconstructed a synthesis of an evolutionary path of regions in the chondritic parent body arranging the chondritic set members according to the degree of thermal metamorphism and the deduced crust and core region set members after the differentiation of the parent body. We discuss the extraordinary possibility of the synthetic overview of the thermal evolution of the chondritic parent body by this NIPR Antarctic meteorite set which also has basic importance in space science and planetary materials education.
