Petrography and classification of refractory inclusions in the Allende and Mokoia CV3 chondrites
More than 600 refractory inclusions in 22 thin sections of Allende and Mokoia were studied by optical and scanning-electron microscopy. Olivinerich inclusions and Ca, Al-rich inclusions (CAI's) are aggregates of various combinations of three fundamental petrographic constituents : rimmed concen...
