The Sun is 16 O-enriched (Δ 17 O = -28.4 ± 3.6‰) relative to the terrestrial planets, asteroids, and chondrules (-7‰ &lt; Δ 17 O &lt; 3‰). Ca,Al-rich inclusions (CAIs), the oldest Solar System solids, approach the Sun's Δ 17 O. Ultraviolet CO self-shielding resulting in formation of 16 O-rich CO and 17,18 O-enriched water is the currently favored mechanism invoked to explain the observed range of Δ 17 O. However, the location of CO self-shielding (molecular cloud or protoplanetary disk) remains unknown. Here we show that CAIs with predominantly low ( 26 Al/ 27 Al) 0 , &lt;5 × 10 -6 , exhibit a large inter-CAI range of Δ 17 O, from -40‰ to -5‰. In contrast, CAIs with the canonical ( 26 Al/ 27 Al) 0 of ~5 × 10 -5 from unmetamorphosed carbonaceous chondrites have a limited range of Δ 17 O, -24 ± 2‰. Because CAIs with low ( 26 Al/ 27 Al) 0 are thought to have predated the canonical CAIs and formed within first 10,000-20,000 years of the Solar System evolution, these observations suggest oxygen isotopic heterogeneity in the early solar system was inherited from the protosolar molecular cloud.
