Chondrule

Definition:

A chondrule refers to a small spherical or nearly spherical mineral grain found in meteorites, particularly in chondritic meteorites.

Examples:

  • The formation of chondrules is thought to have occurred through rapid heating and cooling of cosmic dust in the protoplanetary disk.
  • Chondrules are often composed of minerals such as olivine, pyroxene, and plagioclase.
