Abstract: The results of electron microscopic, microprobe and spectroscopic studies of bitumen-graphite inclusions in a polyzonal macrochondrule and porphyritic PC xenolith of the Krymka chondrite are given. By the electron microscopic investigation and for the first time FTIR-study of the inclusions directly in polished sections of the meteorite, their belonging to the bitumen occurrences with different degree of graphitization has been proven. The main differences between them are due to association of the inclusions with metal-sulfide mantles in the macrochondrule and with silicates in the xenolith, supersaturation of the bitumen in the macrochondrule with nanometric mineral inclusions and the almost complete absence of pores, which are quite common in the bitumen of the xenolith. It has been clarified direct evidence of graphitization of some bitumen inclusions in the macrochondrule and only probable signs of it in the xenolith. It is assumed that the higher degree of graphitization of bitumen inclusions in macrochondrule than in the PC xenolith is due to the higher degree of their shock-metamorphic transformation in the pre-terrestrial history of the Krymka meteorite.
Keywords: meteorite, chondrite, macrochondrule, xenolith, minerals, inclusions, bitumen, graphite, FTIR-spectra.
