has been recalculated without FeO, to give a better<br />

comparison to chondrites. The variations between<br />

different inclusions and the deviations from the<br />

chondritic average are most pronounced for the<br />

elements Al, Cr, Ca, Na, K, and P. Also the mean<br />

MgO content is higher, although the values of<br />

inclusions 2 and 4 are close to the chondrite average.<br />

The chemical variability and the deviations<br />

from chondritic values are also shown by the element<br />

ratios included in Table 9. The mean Mg/Si<br />

atom ratio (X 100) of 110 is higher than in normal<br />

chondrites (94), and closer to the value for carbonaceous<br />

chondrites of 104 (Ahrens and von Michaelis,<br />

1968); on the other hand the Ca/Si ratio of 3.5 is<br />
