Summary

Chemical examination of uralites and their parent pyroxenes from associated eucrites and bronzitites indicate that the alteration can proceed by diverse paths and yield differing actinolites. Alteration in eucrites can be interpreted as occurring in a near closed system but in the bronzitites an external source of Ca and Al is required.
