Chondrites: Chemical Composition
Scientific paper
Shock-induced melt veins in the Acfer 040 L5-6 (S6) chondrite contain a previously unknown set of high pressure phases consisting of amorphous grains similar in composition to majorite, MgSiO3-ilmenite, and ringwoodite. The amorphous grains have compositions that are similar to those of synthetic MgSiO3-perovskites from chemically complex systems and are inferred to be MgSiO3-perovskite that crystallized from the melt at high pressure and temperature and subsequently amorphized after pressure release. The ilmenite represents a natural occurrence of a potentially important mineral in Earth's mantle. The MgSiO3perovskite - MgSiO3-ilmenite-ringwoodite assemblage is not predicted by phase equilibria studies, but appears to result from crystallization of a melt at pressures above 26 GPa.
