摘要：

We report the presence of preserved primitive fine-grained material containing an enstatite whisker with the crystallographic characteristics of a primary condensate in a sample of the Jupiter-family comet Wild 2, returned to earth by NASA's Stardust mission. The preserved primitive material is composed of silica-rich amorphous material embedded with iron sulfides and silicates. It is in close association with a type II chondrule-like object in the track C2052,2,74 (Ogliore et al., 2012). The close association of a chondrule and a primary condensate shows they must have formed in different environments and probably met in the comet-forming region. The first observation of an enstatite whisker with properties indicating primary condensation in a comet is a new link between comets and Chondritic Porous IDPs (CP-IDPs). (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V.
