Scientific paper

The petrogenesis of the Carlisle Lakes-type chondrites and their relationship to other chondrites are studied using new petrologic data, especially on mineralogical zoning patterns, and oxygen isotopic analyses of the whole chondrites and some of chondrules. Detailed zoning profiles of mafic silicates are measured in order to determine the environment(s) in which their oxidation states are established. It is concluded that the zoning did not form during crystallization from a melt droplet chondrule but post-dated chondrule formation. Parent-body thermal metamorphism and nebular gas-solid exchange reactions accompanied by condensation of new FeO-rich olivine, utilizing existing olivine surfaces as nucleation sites are considered as hypotheses explaining the zoning. The occurrence of zoned grains in a host that is mainly equilibrated suggests that the equilibration of the Carlisle Lakes-type chondrites occurred prior to final lithification.
