P-rich sulfide, P-Cr-rich sulfide, barringerite, and schreibersite have been described as characteristic accessories in some CM chondrites. The phases are supposed to be of nebular origin, and to be responsible for the fractionation of some moderately volatile elements in the solar nebula gas. However, the chemical composition of these phases was investigated in detail only in the Mighei chondrite and in CM clasts of the Erevan howardite. The goal of this work is to study the chemistry of the P-rich opaques in the Murray and Boriskino chondrites, which are typical representatives of CM chondrites. Our results provide new evidence for a significant abundance of P-rich opaque phases in CM chondrites. The chemistry of these phases is highly diverse, and should depend very sensitively on the conditions prevailing during condensation from the solar nebula gas.
