Abstract

Abstract— We compare the observed composition ranges of olivine, pyroxene, and Fe‐Ni sulfides in Wild 2 grains with those from chondritic interplanetary dust particles (IDPs) and chondrite classes to explore whether these data suggest affinities to known hydrous materials in particular. Wild 2 olivi...
