Scientific paper

A high abundance of hydroxide in the pyroxenes of meteoritic chondrules from the LL3 chondrites Bishunpur and Semarkona has been identified due to submicroscopic amphibole lamellae. Ion-microprobe analyses of these water-rich areas have shown that they have retained interstellar hydrogen isotopic ratios with D/H up to 479 x 10 exp -6. Mesostases and olivines in these chondrules have been subjected to an intense alteration with a separate source of water having a D/H ratio (down to 63 x 10 exp -6) close to the protosolar value (D/H = 31 +/- 4 x 10 exp -6 in protosolar H2).
