Armoured chondrules are when the chondrule is surrounded by a thin rim of metal.  They probably form due to impact shock melting.

Love the "Solar System Stew" description. By the way, what do you mean by "armoured"?

I strongly recommend taking a look at the pics. This is one of the; if not THE BEST, ordinary chondrites I have ever seen! It seems like no two chondrules are the same and heaps of them are armoured. Under magnification you can see inclusions within inclusions (achondritic clasts?) and the colours are pretty spectacular! All in all, it's like a solidified primordial Solar System stew!   Cheers,   Jeff Kuyken I.M.C.A. #3085 www.meteorites.com.au www.meteoritesaustralia.com
