A model for the sequence of events leading to the formation of the parent bodies of carbonaceous chondrites is developed on the basis of extensive particle track studies of three C2 chondrites and published data on spallogenic stable and radioactive nuclides in C1 and C2 chondrites. Measurements of particle track densities in various specimens of the Murchison, Murray and Nogoya meteorites are found to provide severe constraints on the environment in which the particles were exposed to solar wind and solar flare irradiation. It is proposed that the precompaction irradiation of individual carbonaceous chondrite components occurred primarily when the matter had accreted in swarms of centimeter- to meter-sized bodies within a few hundred million years of the formation of the solar system. Subsequently, the small bodies coalesced to form kilometer-sized objects after approximately 100,000 years, which objects then collided to form the larger-sized parent bodies of the carbonaceous chondrites.
