Scientific paper

Chondrules of the Chainpur (LL3) meteorite are set in an unconsolidated groundmass which makes them amenable to easy separation and also highly suitable for studying their surficial characteristics. Photographs of microcraters on the wrinkled surface of some chondrules are given and discussed. The features of the chondrules, especially their bowl-shaped craters lined by one or more glassy frills, fractured walls, breccias of various types, and ejecta around craters, convincingly demonstrate their high-speed motion, resulting in a complex process of repeated collision prior to their accretion in the present form.
