Final Report

Our accomplishments during the tenure of the grant include the chemical-petrographic characterization of chondrules from the highly unequilibrated ungrouped carbonaceous chondrite LEW85332, the examination of matrix materials in several unequilibrated ordinary chondrites, the exploration of the possibility that amoeboid olivine inclusions in CO chondrites were formed by the chondrule forming process at high nebular temperatures, and the interpretation of our results and those of others in terms of nebular agglomeration and parent-body compaction.
