Description:
Chondrules which are enigmatic millimeter sized silicate grains embedded in the most common class of meteorites, the chondritic (stony) meteorites. It is shown that the chondritic rocks formed by sedimentation processes in the solar nebula, and that it escaped the subsequent melting processes which differentiated the planets from the meteorite parent bodies.
