The isotopic compositions of Mg, Ca, Ti, Cr, Zn, Sr, Ba, Nd, and Sm were measured in four relatively unaltered refractory inclusions from the Vigarano carbonaceous chondrite meteorite. Three of the inclusions (USNM 1623-2, 1623-3, and 1623-8) show similar Mg, Ca, Ti, and Cr isotopic compositions to those found in most inclusions in the Allende carbonaceous chondrite. This indicates that these Vigarano inclusions sampled the same isotopic reservoirs as the majority of the Allende inclusions that isotope signatures in the latter were not significantly modified by the secondary alteration that permeates most Allende inclusions. In contrast, inclusion 1623-5 has large deficits in Mg-26, Ca-48, and Ti-50 and small but distinct Cr-54, Zn-66, Sr-84, Ba-135, Ba-137, and Sm-144 anomalies. The magnitudes of these unusual anomalies in the refractory elements are within analytical uncertainty of those found in the Allende 'FUN" inclusion C1, yet 1623-5 has a very different bulk chemical composition from C1. The fact that 1623-5 and C1 have identical isotopic anomalies yet have significantly distinct major and trace element contents provide convincing evidence for the presence of isotopically distinct reservoirs in the early solar system.
