Mechanical Modification of Chondrule Fine-grained Rims by Dusty Nebular Shocks
The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 The mechanical processes that convert an initially fluffy chondrule fine-grained rim (FGR) into a more compact structure remain poorly characterized.

An Almahata Sitta EL3 fragment: implications for the complex thermal history of enstatite chondrites
Progress in Earth and Planetary Science, 2021 Almahata Sitta is a polymict breccia, consisting of many kinds of clasts. Here we present our mineralogical and petrological results on an EL3 fragment, MS-177 from Almahata Sitta.

Protracted Timescales for Nebular Processing of First-formed Solids in the Solar System
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The calcium–aluminum-rich inclusions (CAIs) from chondritic meteorites are the first solids formed in the solar system. Rim formation around CAIs marks a time period in early solar system history when CAIs existed as free-floating objects and had not yet

Thermal history, collisional history, and structure of the CK‐chondrite parent body
Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.Abstract Major chondrite groups (H, L, LL, R, EH, EL, CK) with some members of petrologic type 5 and 6 also have some members of types 3 and 4; they do not have members of type 1 or 2. Their parent bodies had onion‐shell structures and were internally heated by the decay of 26Al.

Chondrule Destruction via Dust Collisions in Shock Waves
The Astrophysical JournalA leading candidate for the heating source of chondrules and igneous rims is shock waves. This mechanism generates high relative velocities between chondrules and dust particles.

Chondrule size averaging in two and three dimensions
Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.Abstract Chondrule sizes are an important discriminant of chondrite groups and chondrule formation theories. Yet most studies report 2‐D sizes without attempting the somewhat tedious corrections to 3‐D proposed in the past literature. I show here that 3‐D size averages can be simply calculated directly from 2‐D averages of appropriate powers of sizes ...

Barred olivine chondrules in ordinary chondrites: Constraints on chondrule formation
Meteoritics & Planetary Science, 2023 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.
