Abstract

Condensation experiments were performed in the simple but most fundamental system Mg-Si-O-H with forsterite vaporization source. At temperatures above about 1000°C, euhedral crystals of forsterite (Mg2Si04) of a few μrn were formed. These crystals are similar to olivines in Allende matrix. At temperatures below about 1000°C, whiskers of forsterite and enstatite (MgSiO3) were formed by vapor-liquid-solid growth mechanism. These whiskers are different from enstatite whiskers in interplanetary dust, which were probably formed at small super coolings
