Accretion temperature of the Tieschitz, H3, chondritic meteorite

Nature volume 280, pages 116–119 (1979)Cite this article

Abstract

The Tieschitz, H3, chondritic meteorite apparently formed as part of a parent-body by the accretion of both molten and solid materials with a mean temperature of 800±100 °C, followed by slow cooling to lower temperatures. Our data argue against the currently accepted model of equilibration with a cooling gas of solar composition.
