Scientific paper

The observed high abundance of boron in type I carbonaceous chondrites may be due to the presence in the primitive solar nebula of graphite grains which have been irradiated by high energy nucleons at some stage of their history. The boron atoms thus produced by spallation reactions are stably locked within interstellar graphite grains and could make a significant contribution to the boron abundance of Cl chondrites.
