We studied NWA 7203angrite which shows a quenched texture with largegrain size variations to clarifyits crystallization history. According to our study, we proposethat fine-grained areas first rapidly crystallized with olivine xenocrysts as crystallization seeds, and second the melt composition changed to slightly more Mg-rich, and finally coarse-grained areas were subsequently formed. However, there remains the possibility that the texture was formed by decrease of the cooling rate.
