Amoeboid Olivine Aggregates in CR Chondrites
Introduction: Amoeboid Olivine Aggregates (AOAs) are irregular-shaped, fine-grained aggregates of olivine and refractory minerals and are important components of C chondrites. The AOAs in CV chondrites have been interpreted to be primary nebular condensates [1] and therefore, can provide constraints on models for nebular condensation. AOAs are intermediate in composition, and may be a link, bet...
متن کاملChondrules: Precursors and interactions with the nebular gas
Chondrule compositions suggest either ferroan precursors and evaporation, or magnesian precursors and condensation. Type I chondrule precursors include granoblastic olivine aggregates (planetary or nebular) and fine-grained (dustball) precursors. In carbonaceous chondrites, type I chondrule precursors were S-free, while type II chondrules have higher Fe ⁄Mn than in ordinary chondrites. Many typ...
متن کاملExamination of High Temperature Annealing of Amoeboid Olivine Aggregates: Heating Experiments of Forsterite and Anorthite Mixtures
Introduction: Amoeboid Olivine Aggregates (AOAs) are irregularly-shaped, 100 µm to 5 mm in size, fine-grained objects that constitute a few vol% of meteorites in most carbonaceous chondrite groups. Previous studies concluded that AOAs are aggregates of solar nebula condensates which continued to react with the solar nebula vapor to the temperature to form phyllosilicates. However, these studies...
متن کاملIntermineral oxygen three-isotope systematics of silicate minerals in equilibrated ordinary chondrites.
High precision oxygen three-isotope ratios were measured for four mineral phases (olivine, low-Ca and high-Ca pyroxene, and plagioclase) in equilibrated ordinary chondrites (EOC) using a secondary ion mass spectrometer. Eleven EOCs were studied that cover all groups (H, L, LL) and petrologic types (4, 5, 6), including S1-S4 shock stages, as well as unbrecciated and brecciated meteorites. SIMS a...
متن کاملFine-grained Mineralogy of Cometary Ultra- Carbonaceous Antarctic Micrometeorites
Introduction: The CONCORDIA micrometeorite collection recovered from central Antarctic snow contains fluffy, fragile particles [1] among which we identified some UltraCarbonaceous Antarctic Micrometeorites (UCAMMs) [2, 3]. UCAMMs are dominated by up to ~ 80 vol% of carbonaceous material that contains small and complex mineral assemblages [2-4]. Their structure and chemical compositions are remi...
