Scientific paper

The olivine reaction products of carbonaceous chondrites from the CI and CM groups were studied, following heating at various temperatures for different periods of time. X-ray powder diffraction and Moessbauer spectroscopy were used to analyze the reaction products. It is shown that low-temperature heating (450 C) products contained traces of phyllosilicate, forsterite, magnetite, and pentlandite. High-temperature (1200-1400 C) reaction products included iron-free pyroxenes, pentlandite and corundum. The chemical composition of high-temperature olivine was determined on the basis of microprobe measurements, and the results are discussed in detail. The variation of trace elements with heating temperature in olivine is given in a table.
