説明

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Early Solar System planetesimal thermal models predict the heating of the chondritic protolith and the preservation of a chondritic crust on differentiated parent bodies. Petrological and geochemical analyses of chondrites have suggested that secondary alteration phases formed at low temperatures (<300 °C) by fluid-rock interaction where reduced and oxidized Vigarano type Carbonaceous (CV) chondrites witness different physicochemical conditions. From a thermodynamical survey of Ca-Fe-rich secondary phases in CV3 chondrites including silica activity (<jats:italic>a</jats:italic>SiO<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>), here we show that the classical distinction between reduced and oxidized chondrites is no longer valid and that their Ca-Fe-rich secondary phases formed in similar reduced conditions near the iron-magnetite redox buffer at low <jats:italic>a</jats:italic>SiO<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> (log<jats:italic>(a</jats:italic>SiO<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>) <−1) and moderate temperature (210–610 °C). The various lithologies in CV3 chondrites are inferred to be fragments of an asteroid percolated heterogeneously via porous flow of hydrothermal fluid. Putative ‘onion shell’ structures are not anymore a requirement for the CV parent body crust.</jats:p>
