Five carbonaceous chondrites (Renazzo C2V, Allende C3V, Ornans C3O, Warrenton C3O, and Orgueil C1) were analyzed by radiochemical neutron activation analysis for 20 elements. Elements condensing between approximately 700 and 420 K are systematically more depleted than those condensing between 1000 and 900 K, and the depletion correlates inversely with matrix content and directly with degree of metamorphism. A model of gas-dust fractionation during condensation, by settling of dust to the median plane of the nebula, is proposed. Gas/dust ratios relative to the cosmic ratio ranged from 0.7 at 1000 K to 0.5 at 700 K for C3O chondrites that accreted first and from 1.3 to 0.6 for the last. No further gas/dust fractionation was indicated below 700 K
