Glass inclusions represent small volumes of liquids enclosed by a host mineral during its growth. Heating experiments on glass inclusions allow reversing the postentrapment processes that occurred inside the inclusions during cooling. These experiments - performed on glassy and glassbearing inclusions in olivine - enable us to obtain information regarding the conditions prevailing during host formation, either in terrestrial or extra-terrestrial rocks [e.g., 1 ? 5]. Here we report  on the heating experiments performed with glass inclusions in olivine of the CV3 Allende chondrite.
