The origin of type C inclusions found in carbonaceous chondrites and the relationship of the type C inclusions to other Ca- and Al-rich chondrules are discussed on the basis of major-element composition of these objects. The results on bulk composition analysis of primary phase assemblages in eight Allende-type inclusions and an Allende glass-spinel inclusion were found to be consistent with the following scenario: (1) the condensation of melilite + spinel + perovskite +/- hibonite +/- CaAl4O7; (2) the reaction of melilite + spinel with SiO2(g); (3) the removal of inclusions from further interaction with the reacting gas; (4) melting with little or no volatilization; (5) crystallization; (6) alteration; and (7) incorporation of inclusions into host meteorite. Type C inclusions are considered to be precursors to Al-rich chondrules in ordinary and enstatite chondrites, i.e., they are considered to be a spinel-rich class of type A that reacted with silica from a coexisting gas to produce anorthite plus diopside.
