MAJOR AND TRACE ELEMENT CONCENTRATIONS FORCHONDRULES OF THE BOXIAN (LL4) CHONDRITEAND THEIR IMPLICATIONS

Al, Mg, Mn, Na, V, La, Sm, Eu, Sc, Cr, F , Ni, Co, Au and Ir concentrations for 14 ch-ondrules from the Boxian (LL4) chondrite are analyzel by INAA. The average hulk chon-drule compositions normalized to Mg and Cl chondrite for the Boxian chondrite are identical to the ones for other unequilibrated ordinary chondrites (UOC's). Relations among the element concentrations for chondrules from the Boxian chondrite are discussed using the clustering and factor analysis. Afew precusor chemical components are implied, that is siderophile elements, refractory and moderately refractory lithophile elements and moderately volatile elements etc. This conclusion is compatible to the results from the study of other UOC's.
