Scientific paper
An analysis of a study of minerals unique to enstatite chondrites, an unusual group of meteorites characterized by highly reduced mineral assemblages, is presented. Various samples of crushed fragments of the Abee meteorite were studied and the normal procedures for identifying the minerals in sections and then extracting them were reversed. An unusual carbon-rich material was found that is highly enriched in volatile elements by factors of 10000 relative to the case for nonvolatile elements. It is believed that this volatile-rich material forms in the solar nebula toward the end of accretion, when small amounts of residual dust acquire all the uncondensed volatile elements.
