Scientific paper

This paper presents new data on trace elements in fayalite-rich rims, veins, halos, and matrix olivines in the Allende meteorite. On the basis of new evidence, it is argued that the fayalitic rims were formed by condensation from a gas, and not by thermal equilibration of forsterite with FeO-rich metal or FeO-rich olivine in the interior of a parent body. A similar origin is inferred for fayalitic veins within forsterite crystals. Condensation calculations showed that FeO-rich olivine can be formed by condensation from a gas with enhanced oxygen fugacity.
