Scientific paper

It is pointed out that important information on the origin of minerals can be found in their cooling rates. In order to determine these rates, methods of geological 'speedometry' have been developed, which are based on the interpretation of crystallochemical data from the viewpioint of the thermal history of the minerals. It is noted that such studies started in connection with reserach on lunar soil, and can find application in the investigation of meteorites.
