Bishunpur is one of the most unequilibrated ordinary chondrites, and preserves a relatively unaltered record of solar nebular processes. A survey of three polished thin sections of Bishunpur revealed that metal occurs in three textural domains: (1) in the matrix, (2) within chondrules and (3) in coatings on chondrules. A table provides a textural classification of the various metal types found in Bishunpur and their composition. Electron-microprobe analyses are discussed, and similarities between Bishunpur metal and opaques and those in carbonaceous chondrites are considered. Attention is given to low-Ni kamacite grains in chondrule olivine, Si-bearing chondrule metal, spheroidal metal in chondrules, metal and sulfide-bearing rims, coarse matrix metal, and fine matrix metal formation.
