Chondrites and Chondrules The first are stony meteorites; the second, the small spherical bodies they contain. There is evidence that the chondrules date back to the opening stages in the ...

They're so named because they're made up of small particles called chondrules, caused by the rapid cooling of molten rock.

These materials include chondrules—tiny pieces of dust and rock that have survived from before the planets formed—and pieces of asteroids and planetesimals left behind by the planet-building process.

Lots of carbon, so I think we'll probably see carbonate minerals, and maybe some things we call chondrules and also calcium-aluminium inclusions, which were the very first solid materials to form ...

A non-carbonaceous, ordinary chondrite is made up of objects called chondrules. The name comes from the Greek word for grain and they’re small, spherical and around one millimetre in size.

If a corner of a stony meteorite has chipped off, you can often see inside small, round grains, known as chondrules, and metallic grains. The inside is often light in colour, but it can also be almost ...

The timing and duration of the accretion of meteorites and their precursors (e.g. chondrules) is a key part of this story and we have developed several extinct isotope systems (e.g. 26Al – 26Mg) to ...

She edited the book Chondrules and the Protoplanetary Disk published by Cambridge University Press and is the proud namesake of Asteroid 5497 Sararussell. If you’re a Member, Patron or Corporate ...

They consist of a mixture of primordial pre-planetary components including chondrules and calcium-aluminium-rich inclusions (CAIs) set within a matrix of fine-grained (1 μm) materials and an amorphous ...

Currently, my work centers on studying the mass-independent isotopic composition of silicon and chromium in chondrules—early-formed silicate melt spherules. This research aims to trace their origins ...

They're so named because they're made up of small particles called chondrules, caused by the rapid cooling of molten rock. These H and L chondrite meteorites have arrived on our planet from three ...
