Abstract

The textures, crystallography, deformation, and compositions of some chondrite constituents in ten lithologies of different cluster texture strength were studied in seven weakly metamorphosed (Type 3) and variably shocked LL and H ordinary chondrites using optical and electron microscopy and X-ray tomography techniques, to better understand chondrite accretion and subsequent processes. Data in particular bear on the accretion histories of chondrules and have implications for the formation of planetesimals and planetary bodies in the early solar system.

Description

This data supports an article being published in Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta.

Data include information about the samples that were studied, crystallographic data, tomography data, chemical data, inferences about the processes that affected each lithology, the types of data products that were acquired, and information about SEM data files.

The file contains eight tables.
