Microbial mediation of textures and minerals – terrestrial or parent body processes?
Evolution of chondritic parent body is influenced by thermal, impact metamorphism and aqueous alteration, studied in Mező-Madaras, Knyahinya, Mócs and Nyírábrány in aspect of high resolution in situ textural, mineralogical and organic geochemical ...

Testing the ureilite projectile hypothesis for the El'gygytgyn impact: determination of siderophile element abundances and Os isotope ratios in ICDP drill core samples and melt rocks [PDF]
The geochemical nature of the impactites from International Continental Scientific Drilling Project-El'gygytgyn lake drill core 1C is compared with that of impact melt rock fragments collected near the western rim of the structure and literature data ...

Fluid evolution in CM carbonaceous chondrites tracked through the oxygen isotopic compositions of carbonates [PDF]
The oxygen isotopic compositions of calcite grains in four CM carbonaceous chondrites have been determined by NanoSIMS, and results reveal that aqueous solutions evolved in a similar manner between parent body regions with different intensities of ...

Because of their numerical dominance among meteorite falls, their great age, and their primitive (i.e., quasisolar) compositions, the chondrites are central to discussions of the origin and early history of the solar system. The bibliography includes most American contributions m this field from 1967 to 1970, and this report attempts to summarize our ...

The examination of the physical properties of chondrules has generally received less emphasis than other properties of meteorites such as their mineralogy, petrology, and chemical and isotopic compositions.

Clasts in the CM2 carbonaceous chondrite Lonewolf Nunataks 94101: evidence for aqueous alteration prior to complex mixing [PDF]
Clasts in the CM2 carbonaceous chondrite Lonewolf Nunataks (LON) 94101 have been characterized using scanning and transmission electron microscopy and electron microprobe analysis to determine their degrees of aqueous alteration, and the timing of ...

Trace element composition of troilite, iron and iron-nickel metall from meteorite Chelyabinsk
We studied the contents of trace elements in troilite, iron and in iron-nickel metal from meteorite Chelyabinsk by means of LA-ICP-MS. The features of the distribution of siderophile and chalcophile elements in sulfide and metallic phase in gray and ...
