Enstatite chondrites: condensation and metamorphism under extremely reducing conditions and contributions to the Earth

open access: yesProgress in Earth and Planetary Science, 2022
Enstatite chondrites are a small clan of meteorites, only ~ 1% out of all meteorite collection. However, they are the most reduced meteorites and have almost identical isotopic compositions to those of the Earth, suggestive of significant contributions ...

The Nitrogen Heterocycle Content of Meteorites and Their Significance for the Origin of Life

open access: yesLife, 2018
Carbonaceous chondrites are very primitive meteorites that are rich in carbon. They contain many soluble organic compounds, including nitrogen heterocycles.

Thermal Alteration of Labile Elements in Carbonaceous Chondrites

open access: yes, 2018
Carbonaceous chondrite meteorites are some of the oldest Solar System planetary materials available for study. The CI group has bulk abundances of elements similar to those of the solar photosphere.

Solar System’s earliest solids as tracers of the accretion region of Ryugu and Ivuna-type carbonaceous chondrites

open access: yesCommunications Earth & Environment
Samples from the carbonaceous asteroid Ryugu and CI (Ivuna-type) chondrites are dominated by low-temperature, aqueously formed secondary minerals, with rare occurrences of anhydrous primary minerals that formed in the high-temperature region of the solar

Organic material in meteorites and the link to the origin of life

open access: yesBIO Web of Conferences, 2014
Life requires specific conditions that have been, so far, only proven to meet on Earth. Though the chemical elements required to form living organism (C, H, N, O, S, etc) are widespread in the universe, the molecules that are crucial for Life, like ...

FT-IR spectroscopic studies of major organic matter in carbonaceous chondrites using microscopic technique and comparison with terrestrial kerogen [PDF]

open access: yes, 1994
Infrared (IR) absorption spectra of major types of carbonaceous matter in four Antarctic carbonaceous chondrites (Y-74662,Y-791198,ALH-77307,Y-791717) and two non-Antarctic carbonaceous chondrites (Murchison, Allende) were taken using a microscopic FT-IR

Influence of Rare Earth Elements on Prebiotic Reaction Networks Resembling the Biologically Relevant Krebs Cycle

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
Rare earth elements can act as mediators in a prebiotic reaction network, producing various intermediates of the citric acid cycle starting from glyoxylate and pyruvate. The ionic radius and the resulting variation in Lewis acidity has a significant influence on the observed product scope.

Unique evidence of fluid alteration in the Kakowa (L6) ordinary chondrite

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
Meteorites preserve evidence of processes on their parent bodies, including alteration, metamorphism, and shock events. Here we show that the Kakowa (L6) ordinary chondrite (OC) preserves both shock-melt veins and pockets of detrital grains from a ...

Pyrolytic nature of carbonaceous matter in carbonaceous chondrites and secondary metamorphsm [PDF]

open access: yes, 1991
Major carbonaceous matter in five C2 carbonaceous chondrites (Y-791198,Y-74662,Murchison, B-7904,and Y-793321) and six C3 carbonaceous chondrites (Allende, Y-790992,Y-791717,Y-81020,ALH-77003,and ALH-77307) was investigated by pyrolysis-gas ...

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

open access: yes, 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 ...
