A Transmission Electron Microscopy Study of Exsolution and Coarsening in Iron-free Clinopyroxene
Abstract
Exsolved and coarsened lamellae in Fe-free clinopyroxene are studied experimentally in the range of 1100o to 1300oC. These data provide a reliable basis for the estimation of chondrule cooling rates derived from the microstructure of chondrule minerals.
