Calcium X‐ray elemental map of a strongly hydrated microclast in the Rumuruti chondrite Northwest Africa 6828. The clast is crosscut by irregular Ca‐carbonate‐filled fractures that do not extend into the host meteorite. It represents the first hydrous fragment found in an R chondrite and documents the wide distribution of water‐bearing material in the solar system. Image was collected using the JEOL JXA 8500F field emission cathode electron microprobe at the Museum für Naturkunde, Berlin. For details, see the article by Ansgar Greshake, pp. 824–841.
