Scientific paper

The St. Mesmin chondrite studied consists of diverse materials. The meteorite contains, in addition to chondritic materials, also H-group xenoliths and fine-grained, magmatic olivine microporphyry. The olivine microporphyry consists of euhedral to subhedral olivine phenocrysts in a matrix composed of microcrystalline pyroxenes, reddish-brown glass, and minor chromite, troilite, and metal. Details of petrography are discussed and a description of mineralogical studies is given. It is concluded that olivine microporphyry formed by rapid crystallization of a haplochondritic liquid.
