A new assemblage of (MgFe)SiO3-perovskite (glass), MgSiO3-ilmenite, and ringwoodite in the melt veins of the ACFER 040 L5-6 chondrite. Although perovskite is no longer crystalline, it appears to have been the first mineral to crystallize from the melt, and therefore represents a higher crystallization pressure than the more common majorite-bearing assemblages in the melt veins of other shocked chondrites. Bright-field TEM images of the melt veins matrix in ACFER 040 are shown.
