SEARCH FOR Fe IN CHONDRULES FROM ALLENDE AND TIESCHITZ
Introduction: Chondrites are early objects composed of primitive undifferentiated material. The study of their earliest and most primitive components like the refractory inclusions (CAIs) and the chondrules provide us with strong constraints on the events in the early solar system. Chondrules are millimeter-sized spheres present in abundance in most chondrites. They are thought to have formed b...
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 کاملFe/Mg-Fe/Mn SYSTEMATICS OF CHONDRULES AND THEIR HOST CHONDRITES: CLUES FOR THEIR
Introduction: Composition of chondrites on Fe-MgMn diagram show distinct patterns that result from nebular processes like volatility-controlled Mn-Mg fractionation, metal/silicate fractionation under reducing conditions and subsequent oxidation leading to variations in FeO/MgO ratio [1]. As chondrules are the major constituent of chondrites (except CI) their effect on bulk chemical compositions...
متن کاملChondrules: Chemical, Petrographic and Chronologic Clues to Their Origin by Impact
Major element contents of chondrite groups were volatility controlled and established in a nebula after formation of Ca-Al-rich inclusions but before chondrules formed. Elemental abundances in chondrules tend to correlate with chemical affinity. Calcium was fractionated from Al by a planetary, not a nebular process. Chondrules were contemporaneous with igneous activity and aqueous and thermal m...
متن کاملThe Role of Microchemical Environments in the Alteration of Cm Carbonaceous Chondrites
Introduction: Aqueous fluids have left their fingerprint on almost all the known chondrite groups and attest to the fact that water was a widespread agent of change in the early solar system [1,2]. The interaction of liquid or gaseous water with the primary products of nebular processes caused significant textural, mineralogical, compositional and isotopic changes that are often very complex to...
