The Origins of I-type Spherules and the Atmospheric Entry of Iron Micrometeoroids. [PDF]

, 2016
The Earth's extraterrestrial dust flux includes a wide variety of dust particles that include FeNi metallic grains. During their atmospheric entry iron micrometeoroids melt and oxidize to form cosmic spherules termed I-type spherules. These particles are

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

Meteoritics &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.

Geochemistry of the Cretaceous-Tertiary transition boundary at Blake Nose (N.W. Atlantic): Cosmogenic Ni [PDF]

Journal of the Serbian Chemical Society, 2004
The Cretaceous-Tertiary (KT) boundary transition at the Blake Nose Plateau recovered by ODP Leg 171B (site 1049, hole A, core 17X, section 2) contains an ejecta bed (thickness ca. 17 cm) marking a late Cretaceous asteroid impact.

Mineralogical Characterization of Baptistina Asteroid Family: Implications for K/T Impactor Source

, 2011
Bottke et al. (2007) linked the catastrophic formation of Baptistina Asteroid Family (BAF) to the K/T impact event. This linkage was based on dynamical and compositional evidence, which suggested the impactor had a composition similar to CM2 carbonaceous

Composition of Near-Earth Asteroid 2008 EV5: Potential target for Robotic and Human Exploration

, 2012
We observed potentially hazardous asteroid (PHA) 2008 EV5 in the visible (0.30-0.92 microns) and near-IR (0.75-2.5 microns) wavelengths to determine its surface composition. This asteroid is especially interesting because it is a potential target for two

Multiple carriers of Q noble gases in primitive meteorites [PDF]

, 2015
The main carrier of primordial heavy noble gases in chondrites is thought to be an organic phase, known as phase Q, whose precise characterization has resisted decades of investigation.

Origin of 182W Anomalies in Ocean Island Basalts

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2023
Ocean island basalts (OIB) show variable 182W deficits that have been attributed to either early differentiation of the mantle or core‐mantle interaction.

Testing the Bus–DeMeo Asteroid Taxonomy Using Meteorite Spectra

The Planetary Science Journal
The most widely used method to spectrally classify asteroids is the Bus–DeMeo taxonomy. To test how well the Bus–DeMeo taxonomy groups asteroids on the basis of their mineralogy, we have classified ∼1500 meteorite spectra using this Bus–DeMeo system ...

Laboratory mid-IR spectra of equilibrated and igneous meteorites. Searching for observables of planetesimal debris

, 2017
Meteorites contain minerals from Solar System asteroids with different properties (like size, presence of water, core formation). We provide new mid-IR transmission spectra of powdered meteorites to obtain templates of how mid-IR spectra of asteroidal ...
