Abstract

We found the fine grained, heavily-hydrated microclasts in a CO chondrite (Y-81020) and CM chondrites (Murchison and Cold Bokkeveld). SR-XRD analyses and high resolution TEM observations revealed that the clasts in Y-81020 consists mainly olivine and magnetite, with small amounts of smectite and serpentine. The clasts in Murchison and Cold Bokkeveld consists mainly magnetite and serpentine in which crystalline olivine were not observed. Most of clasts in three meteorites contain framboidal or platelet magnetite, which are typical morphology in CI chondrite. These results suggest that the clasts had been altered by aqueous alteration under a condition similar to CI chondrites.
