Prevalence and nature of heating processes in CM and C2-ungrouped chondrites as revealed by insoluble organic matter

Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, 2018
Chondrites are exhumed from their parent bodies by impacts, which at the same time can result in heating and mechanical modification (compaction, deformation, fracturing, etc.).

New knowledge about shock events that affected the L‐chondrite parent body from two heavily shocked L6 meteorite finds

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract We report new results from a study of shock‐related features in the L6 ordinary chondrites Northwest Africa (NWA) 4672 and NWA 12841. Our observations confirm the occurrence of eight high‐pressure (HP) minerals in each meteorite, namely, ringwoodite, majorite, akimotoite, wadsleyite, albitic jadeite, lingunite, tuite, and xieite.

The Mobility of Major and Trace Elements in EOC Minerals on Parent Chondrite Bodies

Geosciences
The combined EPMA and SIMS study of the geochemical features of olivine, low-Ca pyroxene and plagioclase in equilibrated ordinary chondrites (EOCs) has revealed the effect of thermal metamorphism on trace element concentrations in EOC silicate minerals ...

Scanning micro-raman spectroscopy on carbon-rich residues of primitive chondrites: A tool for chondrite classification and stardust analysis [PDF]

, 2005
We present results obtained by Raman spectroscopy of various organic residues of primitive chondrites in order to better characterize the microstructural state of the organic matter. These results will be correlated with the petographic classification of

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

Potassium isotope compositions of carbonaceous and ordinary chondrites: Implications on the origin of volatile depletion in the early solar system [PDF]

, 2018
Among solar system materials there are variable degrees of depletion in moderately volatile elements (MVEs, such as Na, K, Rb, Cu, and Zn) relative to the proto-solar composition. Whether these depletions are due to nebular and/or parent-body (asteroidal

Noble gases and nitrogen in material from asteroid Bennu

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract We report the elemental and isotopic abundances of all stable noble gases (helium, neon, argon, krypton, and xenon) in eight particles from asteroid Bennu returned by NASA's OSIRIS‐REx mission. We also report nitrogen abundances and isotopic ratios that were analyzed alongside neon and argon in four additional Bennu particles.

The Oxygen Isotopic Composition of Samples Returned from Asteroid Ryugu with Implications for the Nature of the Parent Planetesimal

The Planetary Science Journal, 2023
We present oxygen isotopic analyses of fragments of the near-Earth C _b -type asteroid Ryugu returned by the Hayabusa2 spacecraft that reinforce the close correspondence between Ryugu and CI chondrites.

Tin and zinc stable isotope characterisation of chondrites and implications for early Solar System evolution

Chemical Geology, 2019
Moderately volatile elements show variable depletion in terrestrial planets compared to the Sun. Isotopic ratios can be used as a signature of the processes at the origin of this depletion.

Microspherules Formed by Lightning Strikes

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Natural microspherules are formed by high‐temperature processes and are present throughout the geologic record to the present day. We report the discovery of large numbers of microspherules recovered from a rock pavement in the Pilbara region, Western Australia.
