Scientific paper

A chemical and mineralogical study of three Al-rich chondrules from the H4-chondrite Ybbsitz is presented. These chondrules are found to have a high concentration of incompatible elements, to be fractionated, and to be enriched in light rare earths. The results indicate that the Al-rich Ybbsitz chondrules formed by different processes than the Ca-Al-rich inclusions from carbonaceous chondrites. A model is proposed in which partly molten ferromagnesian chondrules collided with other objects, and Al-melt fractions were ejected to form independent Al-rich chondrules. It is suggested that the strong positive Eu anomaly noted may be due to diffusive exchange of Eu between the matrix and the Al-rich chondrules.
