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 H and L chondrite meteorites have arrived on our planet from three ...

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 ...

The key is meteorites. Meteorites bring many different types of material from all over the solar system to Earth where scientists can study them. These materials include chondrules—tiny pieces of dust ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

Until now, only a small fraction of meteorites that land on Earth had been firmly linked back to their parent body out in space – but a set of new studies has just given us compelling origin ...

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 ...
