Lamellar olivine in the Divnoe achondrite: Evidence for high-pressure exsolution?The olivine-rich Divnoe achondrite contains numerous large olivine grains which have a lamellar or banded appearance in back-scattered electron images, caused by minor compositional differences. One such grain, viewed in transmitted light, displays a system of lamellae with the same orientation and scale as the compositional banding. The only process known to produce such structure and chemical variability in olivine grains is high-pressure transformations between alpha-, beta- and gamma-olivines, but in other meteorites and in experimental products the structure is approximately 100 times finer than the Divnoe lamella.
