Results are reported for element-abundance analyses of a giant (7 mm in diameter) olivine chondrule discovered in the Allende Chondrite. The abundances of common rare-earth elements are found to be forty times lower than those in ordinary olivine chondrules, no comparable fractionation is found among alkali metals, and a considerable depletion of aluminum is observed. It is suggested that this chondrule is almost pure olivine and that it may have formed as a later-stage product in a nebula when the temperature was not yet low enough to condense the alkali metals.
