Abstract— We measured the sizes and textural types of 719 intact chondrules and 1322 chondrule fragments in thin sections of Semarkona (LL3.0), Bishunpur (LL3.1), Krymka (LL3.1), Piancaldoli (LL3.4) and Lewis Cliff 88175 (LL3.8). The mean apparent diameter of chondrules in these LL3 chondrites is 0.80 φ units or 570 μm, much smaller than the previous ...

Relict and other anomalous grains in chondrules: Implications for chondrule formation
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 1984We have identified relict olivine and pyroxene grains in chondrules from ordinary and carbonaceous chondrites that probably did not crystallize in situ. Some of these olivines are clear, but others contain fine‐grained Fe,Ni (‘dusty olivines’) and resemble previously described occurrences in ordinary chondrites.

Abstract The recently discovered metal-rich carbonaceous chondrite Isheyevo consists of Fe, Ni-metal grains, chondrules, heavily hydrated matrix lumps and rare refractory inclusions. It contains several lithologies with mineralogical characteristics intermediate between the CH and CB carbonaceous chondrites; the contacts between the lithologies are ...

Chondrules: Suggestion Concerning the Origin
Science, 1966The millimeter-sized, sometimes glassy spheroids called chondrules that occur abundantly in stony meteorites may have been produced by lightning in the primitive Laplacian-type nebula while earthy materials were condensing and collecting to form the asteroids and the terrestrial planets.

Chondrules in Antarctic micrometeorites
Meteoritics & Planetary Science, 2005Previous studies of unmelted micrometeorites (>50 μm) recovered from Antarctic ice have concluded that chondrules, which are a major component of chondritic meteorites, are extremely rare among micrometeorites. We report the discovery of eight micrometeorites containing chondritic igneous objects, which strongly suggests that at least a portion of ...

Science, 1975
I have proposed that droplet chondrules were formed by jetting during collision of meteoritic particles with diameters ranging in order of magnitude from 0.5 mm to 20 cm. This conclusion, based on a dynamic model for the collision process, supports the hypotheses of Wasson (based on geochemical considerations) and Whipple and Cameron (based on dynamic ...

Attention is given to the fact that a significant fraction of the chondrules from ordinary chondrites contain silicate grains that survived the chondrule formation process without melting. Typically, these grains consist of coarse olivine, rarely orthopyroxene, crystals located in the core of chondrules and displaying a zoning that is inconsistent with
