Equilibration temperatures of the ordinary chondrites: A new evaluation

Kretz (1982) and Lindsley (1983) have each calibrated the Ca-pyroxene thermometer. These new calibrations are applied to 24 analyzed pyroxenes from 24 H6, L6 and LL6 chondrites. Both thermometers agree that the H group equilibrated to a significantly lower temperature, 820°–830°C, than the L and LL...

Zusammenfassung:Kretz (1982) and Lindsley (1983) have each calibrated the Ca-pyroxene thermometer. These new calibrations are applied to 24 analyzed pyroxenes from 24 H6, L6 and LL6 chondrites. Both thermometers agree that the H group equilibrated to a significantly lower temperature, 820°–830°C, than the L and LL groups. The two thermometers disagree on the value of the higher temperature of equilibration of the L and LL groups, giving values of 860°C (Lindsley) to 930°C (Kretz).
