Howardites, eucrites, and diogenites make up a suite of rock types (HED) known to be related through 0 isotope systematics and by complex processes of partial melting, fractional crystallization, thermal metamorphism, brecciation, and mechanical mixing. The HEDs crystallized in vacuo, and thus are presumably degassed of volatiles. Notwithstanding, C is present and has played an active role in influencing the redox conditions prevailing during formation. The actual form in which C occurs in this suite of meteorites is unknown, but by analogy with terrestrial basalts, may be present as a coating of free C along grain boundaries, and possibly as dissolved CO/CO2/CO3(2-) in silicate minerals. We have measured the content and isotopic composition of C in three eucrites, four diogenites, and two howardites by stepped combustion in order to comprehend the role that C plays during the melting and differentiation of solar system materials
