The mineralogy and the major-element composition of phases within individual hibonite-bearing inclusions were determined, using SEM with EDAX analysis, for 37 hibonite-bearing inclusions which comprised 26 spinel-hibonite-perovskite inclusions, ten platy hibonite crystal fragments, and one blue hibonite aggregate. Results from all inclusions studied indicated the presence of correlations in hibonite isotopic systematics and chemistry. Namely, no inclusion had both a large Ti-50 anomaly and radiogenic Mg-26, and inclusions that were depleted in the ultrarefractory elements had radiogenic Mg-26 with the exception of those which a had a large Ti-50 anomaly. These features establish a relationship between chemical and isotopic characteristics of the inclusions which must predate their formation. It is suggested that depletions in ultrarefractory elements observed in these inclusions may be a memory of stellar condensation and are not necessarily related to a condensation event in the solar nebula.
