Pristine 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 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 کاملLithium Isotopic Analyses of Chondrites and Chondrules
Introduction: Light stable isotopes provide insights and constraints on nebular and parent body processes. Lithium isotope studies of chondrites offer such potential, with some specifically unique aspects. Lithium is monovalent, the lightest of nongaseous elements, it has a 15% mass difference between its 2 isotopes (Li and Li), it is fluid mobile, and it is one of the fastest diffusing element...
متن کاملEvaporation of nebular fines during chondrule formation
Studies of matrix in primitive chondrites provide our only detailed information about the fine fraction (diameter <2 μm) of solids in the solar nebula. A minor fraction of the fines, the presolar grains, offers information about the kinds of materials present in the molecular cloud that spawned the Solar System. Although some researchers have argued that chondritic matrix is relatively unaltere...
