Northwest Africa (NWA) 8709 is a rare example of a type 3 ordinary chondrite melt breccia and provides critical information for the shock compaction histories of chondrites. An L3 protolith for NWA 8709 is inferred on the basis of oxygen isotope composition, elemental composition, diverse mineral chemistry, and overall texture. NWA 8709 is among the most strongly shocked type 3 chondrites known, and experienced complete melting of the matrix and partial melting of chondrules. Unmelted phases underwent FeO reduction and partial homogenization, with reduction possibly occurring by reaction of olivine and low‐Ca pyroxene with an S‐bearing gas that was produced by vaporization. Chondrules and metal grains became foliated by uniaxial compaction, and during compression, chondrules and fragments became attached to form larger clumps. This process, and possibly also melt incorporation into chondrules to cause “inflation,” may have contributed to anomalously large chondrule sizes in NWA 8709. The melt breccia character is attributed to strong shock affecting a porous precursor. Data‐model comparisons suggest that a precursor with 23% porosity that was impacted by a 3 km/s projectile could have produced the meteorite. The rarity of other type 3 ordinary chondrite melt breccias implies that the immediate precursors to such chondrites were lower in porosity than the NWA 8709 precursor, or experienced weaker shocks. Altogether, the data imply a predominantly “quiet” dynamical environment to form most type 3 ordinary chondrites, with compaction occurring in a series of relatively weak shock events.

3型普通球粒陨石生产中的冲击压实加热和碰撞过程:(几乎)独特的L3球粒陨石角砾岩的教训西北非洲8709

西北非洲(NWA)8709是3型普通球粒陨石角砾岩的罕见例子,它为球粒陨石的冲击压实历史提供了重要信息。根据氧同位素组成,元素组成,多种矿物化学和整体质地推断出适用于NWA 8709的L3原型。NWA 8709是已知的受到最强烈震动的3型球粒陨石,并且经历了基体的完全熔化和球粒的部分熔化。未熔融相经历了FeO还原和部分均质化,还原可能通过橄榄石和低钙辉石与汽化产生的含S气体反应而发生。球囊和金属颗粒通过单轴压实形成叶状,并且在压缩过程中,球囊和碎片附着成更大的团块。这个过程,NWA 8709中可能会导致软骨尺寸异常变大。熔融角砾岩的特性归因于强烈冲击影响了多孔前体。数据模型比较表明,孔隙率23%的前体受3 km / s弹丸的影响可能产生了陨石。其他3型普通球粒陨石角砾岩的稀有性意味着此类球粒陨石的直接前驱体的孔隙度低于NWA 8709前驱体,或遭受的冲击较弱。总而言之,数据暗示着形成大多数3型普通球粒陨石的主要“安静”的动力环境,压实发生在一系列相对较弱的冲击事件中。NWA 8709中可能是导致软骨尺寸异常大的原因。熔融角砾岩的特性归因于强烈冲击影响了多孔前体。数据模型比较表明,孔隙率23%的前体受3 km / s弹丸的影响可能产生了陨石。其他3型普通球粒陨石角砾岩的稀有性意味着此类球粒陨石的直接前驱体的孔隙度低于NWA 8709前驱体,或遭受的冲击较弱。总而言之,数据暗示着形成大多数3型普通球粒陨石的主要“安静”的动力环境,压实发生在一系列相对较弱的冲击事件中。NWA 8709中可能是导致软骨尺寸异常大的原因。熔融角砾岩的特性归因于强烈冲击影响了多孔前体。数据模型比较表明,孔隙率23%的前体受3 km / s弹丸的影响可能产生了陨石。其他3型普通球粒陨石角砾岩的稀有性意味着此类球粒陨石的直接前驱体的孔隙度低于NWA 8709前驱体,或受到的冲击更弱。总而言之,数据暗示着形成大多数3型普通球粒陨石的主要“安静”的动力环境,压实发生在一系列相对较弱的冲击事件中。数据模型比较表明,孔隙率23%的前体受3 km / s弹丸的影响可能产生了陨石。其他3型普通球粒陨石角砾岩的稀有性意味着此类球粒陨石的直接前驱体的孔隙度低于NWA 8709前驱体,或遭受的冲击较弱。总之,数据暗示着形成大多数3型普通球粒陨石的主要“安静”的动力环境,压实发生在一系列相对较弱的冲击事件中。数据模型比较表明,孔隙率23%的前体受3 km / s弹丸的影响可能产生了陨石。其他3型普通球粒陨石角砾岩的稀有性意味着此类球粒陨石的直接前驱体的孔隙度低于NWA 8709前驱体,或遭受的冲击较弱。总而言之,数据暗示着形成大多数3型普通球粒陨石的主要“安静”的动力环境,压实发生在一系列相对较弱的冲击事件中。
