Refractory Inclusions as Precursors of Chondrules: Initial Results from Melting Experiments
Abstract
One hour of isothermal heating of synthetic CAI and olivine preserves distinct CAI and olivine domains at 1250°-1550°C; complete CAI melting and PO texture development occurs by 1600°C. Type I chondrules could be made from condensate olivine + CAI, or AOA.
