abstract

  • Applications of the mineral thermodynamic condensation sequence to assemblages in Ca-Al-Ti-rich inclusions in the Allende meteorite suggest that the total amount of titanium and Ti3+ contents of aluminous clinopyroxenes (fassaites) are temperature sensitive and that the ratio Ti3+/Ti 4+ may be used as a qualitative cosmothermometer. © 1978 Nature Publishing Group.
