Moon's volcanic history revealed in glassy spherules from Apollo 17 soil 76501

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Rapidly quenched droplets of pyroclastically erupted lava are common in lunar regolith at landing sites proximal to the maria. Here, we document the U‐Pb chronologies, major element, and trace element compositions of picritic glassy particles from Apollo 17 regolith sample 76501. These particles are dominated by high‐Ti compositions similar to

X‐ray computed tomography study of terrestrial analog cores in preparation for Mars sample return

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Mars Sample Return (MSR) is expected to transform planetary science by providing unprecedented access to pristine Martian material. Initial characterization in the sample receiving facility (SRF) will rely on nondestructive techniques such as X‐ray computed tomography (XCT) to document the condition, distribution, and internal features of ...

The effect of early diagenetic processes on the quantification of fossil micrometeorite abundance and flux in the geological record

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Fossil micrometeorites (MMs) recovered from lithified sedimentary rocks, particularly iron‐rich (I‐type) cosmic spherules (CSs) provide valuable insights into past dust‐forming events. Their abundances, when combined with estimates of local sedimentation rates can be used to reconstruct the flux of extraterrestrial dust.

Drelów, the 13th and latest meteorite fall in Poland—A typical L6 chondrite with shock veins

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract On Tuesday, February 18, 2025, at 18:04:14 local time, residents of Poland observed a bright fireball registered by many Polish fireball stations belonging to the Skytinel Network established a few months before by Mateusz Żmija. Thus, the meteoroid's orbit, atmospheric trajectory, and the strewn field were calculated, and over 70 fragments ...

Combining universal‐stage, backscatter electron imaging and electron backscatter diffraction for improved indexing of planar microstructures in quartz and plagioclase

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Quartz and feldspar commonly develop planar microstructures due to shock metamorphism. These are generally investigated and indexed (identifying the crystallographic orientation along which they developed) using a universal stage (U‐stage) on a petrographic microscope.
