Abstract— Twenty‐four refractory inclusions (40–230 μm, with average of 86 ± 40 μm) were found by X‐ray mapping of 18 ordinary chondrites. All inclusions are heavily altered, consisting of finegrained feldspathoids, spinel, and Ca‐pyroxene with minor ilmenite. The presence of feldspathoids and lack of melilite are due to alteration that took place under oxidizing conditions as indicated by FeO‐ZnO‐rich spinel and ilmenite. The pre‐altered mineral assemblages are dominated by two types: one rich in melilite, referred to as type A‐like, and the other rich in spinel, referred to as spinelpyroxene inclusions. This study and previous data show similar type and size distributions of refractory inclusions in ordinary and enstatite chondrites.
