The paper discusses the geochemistry of major (EPMA) and trace (SIMS) elements in olivine of porphyritic, nonporphyritic chondrules, and the matrix of equilibrated ordinary chondrite Saratov (L4).

Igneous Rim Accretion on Chondrules in Low-velocity Shock Waves
Shock-wave heating is a leading candidate for the mechanisms of chondrule formation. This mechanism forms chondrules when the shock velocity is in a certain range.

Bubbles to Chondrites-II. Chemical fractionations in chondrites
We attempt to develop a possible theory of chemical fractionations in chondrites, that is consistent with various features of chondritic components and current observation of protoplanetary disks (PPD).

Converging lines of evidence show that protoplanetary disks are complex environments hosting spatial and temporal variability at multiple scales.

Mechanical Modification of Chondrule Fine-grained Rims by Dusty Nebular Shocks
The mechanical processes that convert an initially fluffy chondrule fine-grained rim (FGR) into a more compact structure remain poorly characterized.

Cooling Rates of Chondrules after Lightning Discharge in Solid-rich Environments
Among the several candidate models for chondrule formation, the lighting model has been recognized to be less likely than the other two major models, shock-wave heating and planetesimal collision.

Chondrule formation, metamorphism, brecciation, an important new primary chondrule group, and the classification of chondrules [PDF]
The recently proposed compositional classification scheme for meteoritic chondrules divides the chondrules into groups depending on the composition of their two major phases, olivine (or pyroxene) and the mesostasis, both of which are genetically important.

Modeling Chondrule Dust Rim Growth with Ellipsoidal Monomers
Fine-grained dust rims (FGRs) surrounding chondrules in carbonaceous chondrites encode important information about early processes in the solar nebula.

Barred olivine chondrules in ordinary chondrites: Constraints on chondrule formation
AbstractIn general, barred olivine (BO) chondrules formed from completely melted precursors. Among BO chondrules in unequilibrated ordinary chondrites, there are significant positive correlations among chondrule diameter, bar thickness, and rim thickness.
