<title>Abstract</title>
<p>A 65 &#x00D7; 107 &#x00B5;m grain of euhedral tetrataenite (ordered FeNi) attached to a similarly sized grain of troilite occurs within an impact-melt rock clast in the Jelica LL6 chondrite breccia. After impact melting, immiscible metallic Fe-Ni and troilite droplets formed within the silicate melt progenitor of the clast. At &#x2A7E;1200&#x00B0;C while the surrounding silicate was still partly molten, euhedral taenite with &#x223C; 50 wt.% Ni began crystallizing in one of the metal-troilite droplets. Troilite nucleated at one edge of the euhedral taenite grain and began to crystallize at &#x223C;870&#x00B0;C. At 320&#x00B0;C the metal phase underwent an ordering reaction and formed tetrataenite. The unrecrystallized clast-host boundary and the differences in olivine composition and degree of polycrystallinity of troilite between the clast and Jelica host indicate that the clast was incorporated into Jelica during a late-stage brecciation event.</p></abstract>
