Scientific paper

The present work reports on high-voltage electron microscopic observations of the hydrous alteration products of olivine in an achondrite and in an ordinary chondrite. It is argued that the Nakhla achondrite, and possibly the Weston chondrite, contain water of extraterrestrial origin which was mobilized by mild shock deformation. Discussion concentrates on the Weston chondrite, which is shown to have incorporated an unusually large amount of chemically reactive material.
