Abstract/NotesAbstractThe Krymka chondrite contains an exotic graphite-bearing fragment that appears to be of a new type of material added to unequilibrated LL-chondrite during agglomeration on the surface of the parent body. The fine-granular texture without chondrules, two morphological groups of graphite crystals which differ in size and occurence, high content of troilite (11.3 vol.%), the high Ni (55.5–66.6 wt.%) and Co (1.59–2.87 wt.%) contents of the taenite and absence of kamacite, the presence of F-apatite, which is rare for meteorites but common for lunar and terrestrial igneous rocks, are the main features of the fragment.The mineralogy and texture indicate: (1) the fragment probably formed by crystallization from a highly reduced silicate melt, which had been enriched in carbon; 2) the subsequent metal sulphidization lowered its abundance and resulted in the formation of troilite and the compositional features of the residual metal; (3) terrestrial weathering of an exotic fragment and the host part of the chondrite produced iron hydroxides, pentlandite and quite possibly magnetite.
