A first investigation of a lot of "silicate" spectra of "Mode O" from the mass spectrometer on spacecraft VEGA 1 is presented. The ratios of the elements Mg, Fe, Ca, Al, Na, K, S, and O to Si show a similar trend which is known, above all, from CI-carbonaceous chondrites and "Brownlee"-particles (IDP's). In connection with hypothetically silicates a possible model assemblage of cometary dust silicate is proposed.
