Scientific paper

The characteristics of the matrix of the Kakangari type-3 chondrite were investigated using high-resolution TEM and AEM. It was found that the textural and mineralogical characteristics of the fine-grained matrix of Kakangari are different from those of the other chondrite groups. Unlike the matrix phases present in the CV3 and CO3 chondrites, the matrix mineralogy of Kakangari contains clear information regarding its possible origin and thermal history. Data obtained are most consistent with an origin of Kakangari by annealing, without melting at high temperature (possibly during a chondrule-forming thermal event), of clusters or aggregates of ultrafine-grained amorphous or crystalline phases. The precursor materials were most likely to have been a mixture of nebula and presolar dust. Chondrules in Kakangari were probably formed from identical precursors to the matrix, but reached temperatures sufficiently high to produce melting.
