Abstract

Knowledge of the chemical and mineralogical composition of terrestrial matter and its evolution from the earliest stages of Solar system history to the present is one of the foundations of the modern Earth Sciences. One effective method of studying the evolutionary process of terrestrial matter at the planetary stage of Solar system history is a comparative planetological analysis of data on the structure and composition of the outer shells of the terrestrial planets as obtained by spacecraft missions. However, the early history of the terrestrial planets has been considerably obliterated by the processes of matter differentiation, and only traces of these processes can be seen on the surface of the Earth, Moon, and Venus. Therefore, information on the earliest preplanetary stages of Solar system evolution can be obtained only by the study of its minor bodies: the comets, asteroids, and meteorites, the matter of which may not have experienced extensive planetary differentiation. We witness only the beginning of a serious cosmochemical investigation of comets and asteroids, and reliable data on their chemical and mineralogical compositions is likely to be obtained only in the not too distant future. Hence, reliable information on the composition of the minor bodies of the Solar system may be obtained now from studies of meteorites, numerous samples of which are available in terrestrial meteorite collections. Thus, detailed studies of meteorites of different types and estimation of their formation conditions form the basis for the reconstruction of the physicochemical conditions in the Solar system at the earliest stages of its evolution.
