ABSTRACT

Presolar silicates are, apart from nanodiamonds, the most abundant type of stardust and have been found in several primitive meteorites.  Together with Acfer 094 and ALHA77307, the ungrouped C3 chondrite Adelaide and the K chondrite Kakangari have been characterized as primitive with pristine matrix material.  We are investigating the latter two meteorites in order to evaluate their presolar grain inventories and the degree to which these have been affected by nebular and/or parent body processing.
