Abstract
A study of aubrites and their origin and relationship to enstatite chondrites is presented. Aubrites contain enstatite, plagioclase, diopside, and olivine; based on similarities in bulk chemistry of the silicate portions and inferred oxygen fugacity it is shown that E6 chondrites are the most likely parent material for chondrites. It is concluded that the addition of 10% plagioclase of An15 composition to the bulk composition of the silicate portion of the aubrites results in good agreement with that of E6 chondrites.
