Abstract Silica polymorphs in meteorites provide critical constraints on crystallization processes associated with thermal activity in the early solar system. A detailed investigation of silica polymorphs in eucrites (the largest group of achondrites) using cathodoluminescence imaging and laser‐Raman spectroscopy revealed significant variations in the ...

Century‐scale effect of climate change on meteorite falls
Abstract Climate change is inducing a global atmospheric contraction above the tropopause (~10 km), leading to systematic decrease in neutral air density. The impact of climate change on small meteoroids has already been observed over the last two decades, with documented shifts in their ablation altitudes in the mesosphere (~50–85 km) and lower ...

Löpönvaara: A new phosphorus‐rich iron meteorite from Finland
Abstract Löpönvaara is a rare new phosphorus‐rich iron meteorite find from Löpönvaara, Finland. The ~164 g meteorite was discovered in 2017 from the same area as the ungrouped Lieksa pallasite. Löpönvaara was classified as an ungrouped iron meteorite due to its unusually high concentration of P (>4 wt%), coupled with a moderate concentration of Ni (~11

Investigation and reclassification of four mesosiderites—Implications for their formation
Abstract Mesosiderites are rare, differentiated meteorites, so‐called stony‐iron meteorites—they are impact breccias composed of an unusual mix of crustal basalt and pyroxenite, core‐derived metal, but no mantle materials. This odd mixture makes their origin enigmatic and has inspired many different formation theories over the last several decades ...

Petrography of phosphates in CI and CY carbonaceous chondrites
Abstract Phosphate minerals are significant carriers of volatiles (e.g., OH) and halogens in chondritic material; however, their origin in most groups of carbonaceous chondrites remains poorly characterized. We have determined the abundance, morphology, texture, and composition of phosphate grains in aqueously altered CI chondrites and in hydrated and ...
