Oxygen isotopic distribution in an amoeboid olivine aggregate from the Allende CV chondrite: Primary and secondary processes

The oxygen isotopic distribution in an amoeboid olivine aggregate (AOA), TTA1-02, from the Allende CV3 chondrite has been determined by secondary ion mass spectrometry. The irregular shaped TTA1- 02 (5×3mm) consists mostly of olivine grains of ca. 5(mu)m in diameter. Olivine grains of Mg-rich (Fo95) and Fe-rich (Fo60) composition are in direct contact with each other, with a sharp compositional boundary. Oxygen isotopic compositions of Fe-rich olivine grains are 16O-poor ...), whereas Mg-rich olivine is 16O-rich ...Several Al-rich inclusions (
