Average Ti isotopic patterns were derived for each class of carbonaceous chondrites from a chemically characterized suite of whole-rock samples. The results obtained showed excesses of Ti-50 in all four classes; in particular, a well-resolved excess of Ti-50 was found in a subset of CI meteorites. Mean values of the T-50 excess for the four classes span a range of only 2 epsilon-units, with an apparent positive correlation with Al content. The Ca-Al-rich inclusions (CAIs) consistently gave Ti-excesses of about 10 epsilon-units. The larger anomalies in CAIs, compared to matrix and most chondrules, are attributed primarily to an open-system rather than a closed-system processing of the CAI precursors.
