Oxygen isotopic compositions of metal grains in a noble-gas-rich chondrite, NWA 801 CR2, have been determined by secondary ion mass spectrometry. The results show bimodal distribution on Delta O-17 histogram with peaks of Delta O-17 = 2.3 and -35.0 parts per thousand. The O-16-rich peak seems to be due to stellar wind from the protosun. The O-16 enrichment is comparable with the most O-16-rich value from chondrite constituents. Difference of oxygen isotopic composition of stellar wind between protosun and the present sun implies how self-pollution by planetary embryos during the planet formation epoch have occurred and whether the present solar photosphere preserves the representative composition of the solar system.
