Abstract
The isotopic systematics of E101.1 imply that 16O-rich and 16O-poor reservoirs co-existed in the earliest solar protoplanetary disk and that igneous CAIs experienced a 16O-depletion in an early high temperature stage. The coagulation of various lithological units in E101.1 and their partial assimilation supports models of CAI growth by competing fragmentation and coagulation in a partially molten state. Our results suggest that chemical and isotopic heterogeneities of unclear origin in regular CAIs may result from such a complex aggregation history masked by subsequent melting and recrystallization.
