Oxygen Isotopes in Co3 Chondrites
Introduction: The results of a number of studies seem to indicate that CO3 chondrites can be subdivided into a metamorphic series analogous to that seen in ordinary chondrites [1,2,3]. It has been suggested that this sequence is the result of hydrothermal alteration on the CO parent body [4]. One particularly intriguing feature of CO3 chondrites is the reported general correlation between whole...
متن کاملPristine Pre-accretionary Signatures in Cm Chondrite Silicates: a Common Parent-body with the Co Chondrites?
Introduction: The Mighei-like carbonaceous (CM) chondrites are one of the most abundant and aqueously altered group of carbonaceous chondrites [1–4]. The organic molecules present and the effects of aqueous alteration have been extensively studied in the CM chondrites [e.g., 1,3,5]. As many CM chondrites are extensively aqueously altered, the compositions and formation histories of their anhydr...
متن کاملCryptic Metamorphic Effects in Chondrules from Highly Unequilibrated Ordinary Chondrites: an Insidious Parent-body Process
Introduction: Type 3 ordinary chondrites display a wide variety of metamorphic grades, ranging from little metamorphosed type-3.0 chondrites up to nearly equilibrated type 3.9's. Researchers commonly assume that pristine-looking chondrules found in the lowest petrological subtypes have been unaffected by metamorphic processes, and can be used to constrain pre-accretionary processes. Last year, ...
متن کاملMineralogy, Geochemistry and Thermobarometry of Gneisses from Soltanabad Metamorphic Complex (NE Sabzevar)
Soltanabad metamorphic complex cropped out in the ophiolitic range of NE Sabzevar. There is a distinct gneissic body exposed in this complex which is associated with metabasite, serpentinite and adakitic intrusions. Quartz, albite, epidote, amphibole, garnet and chlorite are the rock forming minerals of gneissic samples. Based on abundances of light and dark minerals, different types of felsic,...
متن کاملMetal size distributions in EH and EL chondrites
[1] EL chondrites exhibit larger average metal grain sizes than EH chondrites, a difference attributed by Easton [1983] to metamorphic coarsening, as most EL chondrites are equilibrated, and most EH chondrites are unequilibrated. In this paper, we present metal grain size data for three unequilbrated EL3 chondrites (PCA 91020; ALH 85119; MAC 88180) , and three EH3 chondrites (ALH 84170; PCA 910...
