Abstract

This paper presents a mineralogical analysis of various chondrule types and chemical analysis of olivine in different parts of meteorite Jesenice. Quantitative energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy with a scanning electron microscope was used in the analyses. The results showed that the chemical composition of the olivine was homogeneous throughout the meteorite with an average olivine composition of Fa 26.4 ± 0.6. The results of this study were in agreement with previous study of the meteorite, which showed that the meteorite Jesenice was an equilibrated L chondrite.
