Scientific paper

Coarse-grained rims composed of olivine, with or without low-Ca pyroxene, occur around all types of chondrules and compound chondrules in type 3 carbonaceous chondrites and around ordinary chondrites. The dark zoned chondrules and coarse grained rims were formed by the heating of clumps of opaque matrix material to subsolidus-subliquidus temperatures in the solar nebula. The most likely source of the heat that formed the coarse grained rims is the mechanism responsible for chondrule formation. CV chondrites may have formed in a region where the chondrule formation mechanism was less efficient, probably at greater solar distances than the ordinary chondrites. Alternatively, CV chondrules may have suffered fewer particle collisions prior to agglomeration.
