Impact-driven oxidation of organics explains chondrite shock metamorphism dichotomy [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsShocked meteorites can be used to probe the dynamics of the early Solar system. Carbonaceous chondrites are less shocked than ordinary chondrites, regardless of the degree of aqueous alteration.

Dehydroxylate I formation from the thermal decomposition of serpentine on c-complex asteroids: similarities to carlosturanite [PDF]
Earth, Planets and SpaceDehydroxylate I, a product of the thermal decomposition of serpentine, has been observed in heated carbonaceous chondrite meteorites. To better understand the occurrence of dehydroxylate I on carbonaceous asteroids, we have experimentally heated the ...

Trace element geochemistry of ordinary chondrite chondrules: the type I/type II chondrule dichotomy [PDF]
, 2015 We report trace element concentrations of silicate phases in chondrules from LL3 ordinary chondrites Bishunpur and Semarkona. Results are similar to previously reported data for carbonaceous chondrites, with rare earth element (REE) concentrations ...

Early planetesimal differentiation and late accretion shaped Earth’s nitrogen budget [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsThe relative roles of protoplanetary differentiation versus late accretion in establishing Earth’s life-essential volatile element inventory are being hotly debated.

Bubbles to Chondrites-II. Chemical fractionations in chondrites [PDF]
Progress in Earth and Planetary Science, 2021 AbstractWe attempt to develop a possible theory of chemical fractionations in chondrites, that is consistent with various features of chondritic components and current observation of protoplanetary disks (PPD). Combining the 3+2 component fitting calculation that simulates chondrule formation process proposed in paper (I) with additional mixing ...

Parauapebas meteorite from Pará, Brazil, a “hammer” breccia chondrite
Brazilian Journal of Geology, 2020 The Parauapebas meteorite, third official meteorite discovered in the Brazilian Amazon region, is a “hammer meteorite” which fell on December 9th, 2013, in the city of Parauapebas, Pará State, Brazil.

Stellar Outbursts and Chondrite Composition
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The temperatures of observed protoplanetary disks are not sufficiently high to produce the accretion rate needed to form stars, nor are they sufficient to explain the volatile depletion patterns in CM, CO, and CV chondrites and terrestrial planets.

The breakup of the L-chondrite parent body 466 Ma and its terrestrial effects – a search for a mid-Ordovician biodiversity event [PDF]
Estonian Journal of Earth Sciences, 2023 About a third of all meteorites that fall on Earth today, the stony L-chondrites, originate from a major breakup event in the asteroid belt 466 Ma, in the early Darriwilian.

Origin of Isotopic Diversity among Carbonaceous Chondrites
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 Carbonaceous chondrites are some of the most primitive meteorites and derive from planetesimals that formed a few million years after the beginning of the solar system.
