The concept of parent body aqueous alteration in order to explain the ubiquity of phyllosilicates in CM chondrites has been largely established on the basis of compositional and textural evidence. Much of this textural evidence is equivocal and alternative models, such as nebular alteration, yield plausible explanations for many observations. Many aspects of the parent body alteration model, such as the role of brecciation, the spatial extent of chemical exchange and the mechanisms involved in the alteration process of CM chondrites are all-important, but as yet unresolved issues. We present unambiguous textural evidence from Murray, one of the least altered CM chondrites, that in situ alteration was important during the early alteration of Fe, Ni metal which mobilized Fe over a range of several hundred microns.
