Abstract

The relationship between the porphyritic chondrules and coase-grained chondrule rims of the Allende CV chondrite are examined. The oxygen isotopic compositions of seven chondrule-rim pairs and a large rimless refractory chondrule from Allende are determined. The results suggest that, to account for the O-isotopic compositions of the CV chondrules and rims, three solid precursor components are required: a high-temperature, refractory-, alkali, and (O-16)-rich component; a low-temperature, FeO-rich, refractory, and (O-16)-poor component, and an additional component to explain the composition of BO chondrules.
