Scientific paper

It is proposed that jetting during high-velocity collisions of small meteoritic particles may have produced droplet chondrules. Theories on the origin of chondrules are reviewed, impact products formed by various types of collisions are described, and melt production by jetting is outlined. A dynamic model is developed in which droplets of melt produced by jetting are mixtures of material derived from two parent grains. It is noted that this model implies that droplet chondrules were formed at a time when particle sizes were small, most likely at an early stage in the process of nebular-dust accretion onto planetary matter.
