Ion microprobe measurements of the Ca isotopic compositions of eight individual hibonite grains from the Ca chondrites Murray and Murchison are reported. Large Ca-48 anomalies two orders of magnitude larger than those observed in normal inclusions and at least a factor of four larger than in the FUN inclusions are found. These anomalies are qualitatively correlated with the Ti-50 anomalies in the sense that the delta Ca-48 and delta Ti-50 values have the same sign. These results confirm previous conclusions concerning the presence of a nucleosynthetic component produced by neutron-rich nuclear statistical equilibrium processes. They suggest the preservation of the isotopic anomalies with interstellar dust grains as carriers of the n-rich Ca and Ti components. The large variation in the delta Ca-48/delta Ti-50 ratios indicates multiple nucleosynthetic components and/or chemical fractionation between Ca and Ti prior to hibonite formation.
