Short summary
Chromites found within the fusion crust of ordinary-chondrite meteorites display significant differences with respect to chromites found in the interior of the same meteorites. Chromites within the fusion crust, when compared to those in the interior of the meteorite, display a significantly higher Mg / (Mg + Fe) ratio; moreover, ca. 15 % of the chromites formed within the crust display small but detectable amounts of Ni.
