Recycling of chondrule material is clearly a significant part of the chondrule forming process. Recycled material includes whole chondrules, but more often fragments of chondrules comminuted down to individual crystals. These recurring relicts attest to the vigor of the forming process and its duration. Experimental study of the remelting kinetics of recycled material can provide further constraints on the nature and duration of the chondrule forming process. We have begun an experimental study of the thermal recycling history of chondrules, chondrule fragments, and minerals primarily by conducting experiments that duplicate aspects of their kinetically controlled heating and cooling (crystallization) histories. This study builds on a decade of experimentation directed towards developing a general model for chondrule crystallization. The current study is an enlargement of the dynamic crystallization chondrule model to include recycling of chondrule material during chondrule formation.
