Scientific paper

An effort is made to ascertain the degree of thermal metamorphism on the Allende parent body, through electron-probe microanalysis of the composition of olivine and coexisting spinel in type II chondrules and Fe-rich isolated olivine grains from the Allende meteorite. Modeling of Fe/Mg interdiffusion in olivine leads to an upper limit of peak metamorphic temperatures between 600 and 750 K, assuming a thermal-event duration to 1 million years.
