| 内容記述 | The inclusions and chondrules of the Mokoia CV3 chondrite are studied systematically and compared with those in the Allende meteorite. Five polished thin sections of Mokoia were examined by optical microscopy, backscattered scanning electron microscopy, and electronprobe microanalysis, and objects greater than about 100 microns in apparent diameter were measured and classified petrographically. Three major types of olivine chondrules are distinguished: igneous chondrules, which evidently crystallized from droplets of silicate melt; recrystallized chondrules, apparently metamorphosed at relatively high temperatures; and accretional aggregates, which are probably fragments of igneous chondrules. Refractory inclusions in Mokoia are generally similar to those found in Allende, although Mokoia inclusions include phyllosilicates rather than feldspathoids and melilite-rich Ca, Al-rich inclusions (CAIs) are more abundant in Allende. The small, fine-grained CAIs, which are more abundant than coarse-grained CAIs in both meteorites, are observed to represent aggregates of three distinct constituents: concentric objects, chaotic material and inclusion matrix. It is concluded that most of the CAIs probably formed during metamorphism, partial melting, and incomplete distillation of primitive dust aggregates heated in the solar nebula. |
