Stardust Mine: A 2024 gabbroic shergottite from Arizona, USA
Abstract This study provides an initial characterization of Stardust Mine, a fresh gabbroic enriched shergottite collected in Arizona, USA, in September 2024 and is the first Martian meteorite to be unequivocably collected on US soil. Analysis was conducted on the type specimen and finds that Stardust Mine is composed of equal proportions of pyroxene ...

Potassium isotopic compositions and exposure ages of evolved and silica‐rich achondrites
Abstract Some of the oldest igneous rocks in the Solar System include evolved and silica‐rich achondrites that originate from parent bodies less than 1000 km in diameter, referred to as planetesimals. While Earth was initially in a molten state and required continental crust formation and plate tectonics to generate andesite bulk compositions, evolved ...

Impact provenance and age of a unique basalt found in Apollo 12 regolith
Abstract Basaltic sample 12032,366‐18 from the Apollo 12 landing site is distinct among basalts collected at this site, other Apollo landing sites, and lunar meteorites in terms of its age, bulk rock composition, and isotopic composition. We present new Pb isotopic data obtained by in situ Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry on multiple mineral phases in ...

Geophysical update of the diameter of the Zhamanshin impact structure, Kazakhstan
Abstract The rim of the 0.9‐Ma‐old Zhamanshin impact crater in Kazakhstan is considered to be almost completely exposed via a series of hills surrounding a central flat area, indicating an apparent diameter of 14 km. This would make Zhamanshin the second largest impact crater of the Quaternary period. However, the overall geometry of these hills is not
