Oxygen diffusion coefficients were measured in melilite by a gas/solid isotope exchange technique. Two compositions were investigated over the temperature range of 700 to 1300° C. For Aker 50 Geh 50 crystals, the data fit well the equation: D= 8.6× 10− 6 exp [(− 33.5±0.1)× 10 3 cal/RT]. and for Aker 75 Geh 25: D= 7.2× 10− 6 exp [(− 31.9±0.1)× 10 3 cal/RT]. Oxygen diffuses much faster in melilite crystals than in other silicates, especially at lower temperatures. In melilite melts, the diffusion rate is comparable to other silicates but with a relatively low activation energy. The rapid exchange and diffusion of oxygen in melilite suggests that the isotopic composition of that mineral in the Ca-Al rich inclusions of carbonaceous chondrites records the isotopic composition of the last nebular gas to which they were exposed. Constraints on the earlier history of these inclusions may be deduced from the isotopic composition of the less exchangeable minerals.
