THE VALENCE OF Ti IN ENSTATITE CHONDRITES: NOT WHAT YOU MIGHT THINK
Introduction: Because they are dominated by enstatite, a nearly FeO-free pyroxene, and Si-bearing FeNi metal, along with minor amounts of unusual monosulfides such as niningerite (MgS), oldhamite (CaS) and alabandite (MnS), the enstatite chondrites have long been thought to have formed under extremely reducing conditions [1,2]. Like the ordinary chondrites, enstatite chondrites exhibit a range ...
متن کاملOrigin of Olivines in Type I Chondrules: Petrologic and Chemical Constraints
and glassy mesostases in Type I chondrules from Semarkona and CR carbonaceous chondrites [6, 8-10]. a ) CaO vs. SiO2. b) Al2O3 vs. SiO2. c) Al2O3 vs. SiO2 in glasses of two chemically-zoned chondrules from Semarkona and PCA91082 (CR). Representative bulk compositions of Type I chondrules from Semarkona [8,9] are plotted (crosses: PO chondrules; crossed squares: POP and PP chondrules). Black sol...
متن کاملSIMS measurements on oxygen-isotopic compositions of chondrules and matrix in the Yamato 691 EH3 chondrite
Introduction: Whole rocks, chondrules and matrix from the same chondrite group typically have the same or very similar oxygen-isotopic compositions [e.g., 1]. Among the three major clans of chondrites, enstatite chondrites (ECs) have the most uniform oxygen isotopic compositions (Fig. 1). In order to study oxygen-isotopic heterogeneity of ECs in microscale, we carried out SIMS measurements on c...
متن کاملThermal Processing of Silicate Dust in the Solar Nebula: Clues from Primitive Chondrite Matrices
The most abundant matrix minerals in chondritic meteorites—hydrated phyllosilicates and ferrous olivine crystals—formed predominantly in asteroids during fluid-assisted metamorphism. We infer that they formed from minerals present in three less altered carbonaceous chondrites that have silicate matrices composed largely of micrometerand nanometer-sized grains of crystalline forsterite Mg2SiO4 a...
متن کاملComparative Chemical Investigations among E3 Chondrules Mesostasis
Introduction: Enstatite chondrites have a particular minera-logical composition which consists of silicates, sulfide, metal as major phases. But, were the chondrules of EH and EL chondrites originated from the genetic context? In order to answer to this question we have started to investigate on mesostasis chemical composition of chondrules in three thin sections: one from EET90299-EL3 chondrit...
