Fig. 3. — Surface images of Grain C and its adhered objects, CAPs (common adhered particles) and MSGs (molten splash-shape glasses). (A) Entire Grain C. The grain was cut into three pieces by FIB as shown in the insert in the SE of this image. Di and Pl* indicate diopside and diaplectic plagioclase. (B) Polarized-reflected-light image obtained for the middle slab with thickness of 15 μm. Troilite (Tro) are included in Di. An occurrence of K-feldspar (Kfs) is shown in the inserted BSE image for the SE part of the slab. (C) Microbowls on Pl* substrate partially filled with Tro. Some of these microbowls contain considerable void space. (D) Sub-μm-scale crater on a Di substrate. (E) CAPs on a Pl* substrate. (F) Composite CAP consisting of Ol, plagioclase (Pl), and Di. (G) MSG wrapping around CAPs. (H) Flattened and convex-disk-shaped MSG with degassing vesicles. (i) MSG covering an edge on the surface.
