Scientific paper

The C3O chondrites Kainsaz, Lance, and Ornans were studied by an acid dissolution technique to characterize the noble gas components in 3 mineral fractions: HF, HCl-solubles, chromite and carbon, and 'phase Q', a trace mineral containing Ar, Kr, Xe. For all fractions, gas contents decline in the order Kainsaz, Lance, Ornans; this trend parallels volatile contents but not heterogeneity of olivine composition or degree of metamorphism, and reflects progressively higher condensation temperature from the solar nebula. The Ar/Xe ratios and compositions of the three mineral fractions are discussed, and it is concluded that in all primitive chondrites the amount and the chemical separability of CCFXe parallel the abundance of primordial noble gases and other volatiles, such as C, N, Tl, Bi, and In. The close correlation of CCFXe with properties of local origin, such as volatile content and petrologic type, is more consistent with a local than with an extrasolar origin of the component.
