Calcium-aluminum-rich inclusions in enstatite chondrites (I): Mineralogy and textures

Zusammenfassung:— Like calcium‐aluminum‐rich inclusions (CAIs) from carbonaceous and ordinary chondrites, enstatite chondrite CAIs are composed of refractory minerals such as spinel, perovskite, Al, Ti‐diopside, melilite, hibonite, and anorthitic plagioclase, which may be partially to completely surrounded by halos of Na‐(±Cl)‐rich minerals. Porous, aggregate, and compact textures of the refractory cores in enstatite chondrite CAIs and rare Wark—Lovering rims are also similar to CAIs from other chondrite groups. However, the small size (
