    Description: There is considerable evidence that chondrules formed by the melting of solid materials and, by default, the early solar nebula is the preferred location for chondrule formation. Agglomeratic olivine (AO) chondrules supply perhaps the most intriguing, direct evidence for chondrule formation from agglomeration of solids. We review the characteristics of AO chondrules and discuss their implications for understanding chondrule precursors and chondrule evolution.

    Description: Chondrules can be divided into two broad textural types: porphyritic and nonporphyritic. Porphyritic chondrules are the most common in most chondrites and range texturally from olivine-rich (PO) to intermediate (POP) to pyroxene-rich (PP). Barred olivine (BO) chondrules can be considered a special case of porphyritic. Compositionally they can be divided into type I and II. Nonporphyritic are less abundant than porphyritic chondrules in most chondrites -- they make up approximately 125% of the chondrules in ordinary chondrites -- and range texturally from glassy (g) to cryptocrystalline (C) to radial pyroxene (RP). Compositionally nonporphyritic differ from porphyritic chondrules and within this group they are very similar to one another. Here we (1) review and contrast the characteristics of the nonporphyritic and porphyritic chondrules; (2) specify some of the problems associated with the origins of the textural and compositional differences between them; and (3) suggest a possible scenario for their origin, which may have important implications for the evolution of chondrules.

    Description: The presence of dark lithic clasts within meteorites can provide information concerning asteroidal regolith processes, the extent of interactions between asteroids, and the relationship between meteorite types, micrometeorites, and interplanetary dust particles. Accordingly, we have been seeking and characterizing dark clasts found within carbonaceous chondrites, unequilibrated ordinary chondrites, howardites, and eucrites. We find that unequilibrated chondrites in this study contain fine-grained, anhydrous unequilibrated inclusions, while the howardites often contain inclusions from geochemically processed, hydrous asteroids (type 1 and 2 carbonaceous chondrites). Eucrites and howardities contain unusual clasts, not easily classified.

    Description: Enstatite (En) chondrites record the most reducing conditions known in the early solar system. Their oxidation state may be the result of condensation in a nebular region having an enhanced C/O ratio, reduction of more oxidized materials in a reducing nebula, reduction during metamorphic reheating in a parent body, or a combination of these events. The presence of more oxidized Fe-rich silicates, two types of En (distinguished by red and blue CL), and the juxtaposition of FeO-rich pyroxenes (Fe-pyx) surrounded by blue En (enstatite) in the UEC's (unequilibrated enstatite chondrites) is intriguing and led to the examination of the question of enstatite chondrite formation. Previously, data was presented on the petrologic-geochemical characteristics of the Fe-pyx and coexisting red and blue En. Here minor and trace element abundances (determined by ion probe-SIMS) on these three types of pyroxenes are reported on in the following meteorites: Kota Kota and LEW87223 (EH3), MAC88136 (EL3), St. Marks (EH4), and Hvittis (EL6). More data are currently being collected.

    Description: LEW85332, originally described as a unique C3 chondrite, was shown to be a C2 chondrite with important linkages to the CR clan. An important petrologic aspect of LEW85332 is that it contains anhydrous chondrules and hydrated matrix, and new oxygen isotopic data on chondrules, matrix and whole rock are consistent with the petrology. Chondrules fall on the equilibrated chondrite line (ECL), with a slope near 1, which goes through ordinary chondrite chondrules. This contrasts with the CR chondrule line which has a lower slope due to hydrated components. LEW85332 chondrules define a new carbonaceous chondrite chondrule line, parallel to the anhydrous CV chondrule line (CCC), consistent with the well-established concept of two oxygen isotopic reservoirs. Matrix and whole rock fall on the CR line. The whole rock composition indicates that the chondrite is dominated by chondrules, and that most of them contain light oxygen similar to that of anhydrous olivine and pyroxene separates in the Renazzo and Al Rais CR chondrites.
