The fabric of primitive meteorites is dominated by small but macroscopic particles—chondrules, refractory mineral inclusions (CAIs), metal grains, and their like. One interesting aspect of these particles is that they are often surrounded by well-attached rims of fine-grained dust which appear to have been “accreted” onto solid mineral cores. The rim thickness varies from one meteorite to another, but there seems to be a proportionality between the thickness of the rim and the size of the core. We make use of recently derived analytical expressions for absolute and relative velocities of chondrule-and-CAI-sized particles in a weakly turbulent nebula (Cuzzi and Hogan, 2003, paper I of this series) to assess the acquisition of fine-grained accretionary dust rims by particles in the chondrule-to-CAI size range. We compare these predictions with meteoritic observations, and show how the existence of fairly compact dust rims on chondrules and similar size objects can be easily understood within the turbulent nebula context. We estimate the time needed to accrete such rims to be in the 102–103year range. More observations of the form of the correlation between rim and core diameter in dust-rimmed chondrules are needed in order to strongly constrain the environment and history of these objects.
