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 کاملChemical and Petrologic Evidence of Extensive and Complex Aqueous Alteration of Cr Gra
Introduction: Although some CR chondrites are recognized to be among the most pristine meteorites [1], other members of this group are heavily hydrated [e.g. 2]. However, no evidence of thermal metamorphism has been documented for this group. Antarctic fall GRA 06100, initially classified as a CR2 chondrite have not been previously studied. We use optical microscopy, SEM, and focused beam EPMA ...
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 کاملOxygen Isotopic Compositions and Degree of Alteration of Cr Chondrites
Although hydrously altered, CR chondrites are among the most primitive samples of the solar nebula because of no evidence for thermal or shock metamorphism [1], high presolar grain abundances [2], and perhaps because of their solar refrac-tory lithophile/Mg ratios [3]. Previous O-isotope measurements showed that CR chondrites form a mixing line of slope ~ 0.7 with a rather large scatter [4]. We...
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...
