IIE Irons: Early Accreted, Metal-Rich Ordinary Chondrites from a Partially Differentiated Asteroid
Abstract
IIE-iron mineral and bulk compositions lie along LL-L-H trends. They accreted early, acquired many Type-I chondrules (formed in part from CAI precursors), and more 26Al. IIE irons are metal-rich restites formed adjacent to reduced type-6 OC clasts.
