Table 4.

The estimated initial Δ17O and δD values of water in the various chondrite groups. The Δ17O values are the highest reported for secondary minerals in any member of the group, but are still probably lower limits as it is likely that there was some isotopic exchange with anhydrous minerals prior to formation of the secondary minerals. The δD values are estimated after subtraction of D-rich organic matter from bulk chondrite compositions, except for the R chondrites that is a direct measurement of hydrated silicates.
