Aluminum-rich chondrules formed under reducing conditions in the solar nebula

On Tuesday at LPSC 2017, I presented my latest results on the redox conditions for formation of Al-rich chondrules. Al-chondrules are important to planetary science as they represent some of the earliest formed materials in the Solar System; however, the environmental conditions and mechanisms of formation remain largely unknown.  You can check out a high-res … More Aluminum-rich chondrules formed under reducing conditions in the solar nebula
