New Zealand's Second Meteorite: Makarewa (find, L4, S5, W2)
New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 1, January 2026.One of the most remarkable discoveries of a meteorite in New Zealand was that of Makarewa. Discovered in 1879, Makarewa is a ‘find’ that was uncovered a metre below the surface of a clay bank during excavation works for a train line in the southern South Island.

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 1, Page 17-38, January 2026.Abstract A bright fireball was seen at 4:46 a.m. CET on November 19, 2020, over Austria, and also eye witnessed in Italy and Germany. The resulting Kindberg meteorite was the fifth well‐approved meteorite fall in Austria, and all rocks represent ordinary chondrites.

, 2008 We consider gas at densities appropriate to protoplanetary disks and calculate its ability to cool due to line radiation emitted by H2O molecules within the gas. Our work follows that of Neufeld & Kaufman (1993; ApJ, 418, 263), expanding on their work in

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 1, Page 39-63, January 2026.Abstract Apollo sample 67015 has been classified as a fragmental breccia comprised of highlands‐type clasts and is proposed to be the most complex Apollo 16 sample. 67015 is dominated by impact melt rock clasts that display a variety of textures, which have been previously interpreted to be indicative of multiple impact events.

New Paradigms For Asteroid Formation
, 2015 Asteroids and meteorites provide key evidence on the formation of planetesimals in the Solar System. Asteroids are traditionally thought to form in a bottom-up process by coagulation within a population of initially km-scale planetesimals.

Nondestructive analysis of Bennu samples toward comparative studies with Ryugu samples
Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 1, Page 3-16, January 2026.Abstract Analyzing primitive extraterrestrial samples from asteroids is key to understanding the evolution of the early solar system. The OSIRIS‐REx mission returned samples from the B‐type asteroid Bennu, providing a valuable opportunity to compare them with the Ryugu samples collected by the Hayabusa2 mission.

Transport of First Rocks of The Solar System by X-winds [PDF]
, 2010 It has been suggested that chondrules and calcium-aluminum-rich inclusions (CAIs) were formed at the inner edge of the protoplanetary disk and then entrained in magnetocentrifugal X-winds. We study trajectories of such solid bodies with the consideration

Description and modeling of the Jiddat al Harasis 091 L5 strewn field
Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 1, Page 107-121, January 2026.Abstract With a size of 51.2 × 7.2 km, the 10.9 ± 1.7 ka old Jiddat al Harasis 091 L5 chondrite strewn field is the largest known in Oman. It consists of more than 700 meteorites with a total mass of >4.5 tons from which the largest six stones of >100 kg to 1.5 tons make up two thirds of the total mass.

Chondrule Destruction via Dust Collisions in Shock Waves
The Astrophysical JournalA leading candidate for the heating source of chondrules and igneous rims is shock waves. This mechanism generates high relative velocities between chondrules and dust particles.

Textural and minerochemical features of NWA 1807 and 2180, two new CV3 chondrites from northwest Africa [PDF]
, 2007 A textural and minerochemical study has been performed on NWA 1807 and 2180 chondrites in order to determine sizes and typologies of chondrules, relative abundances of mineral phases, compositions of main phases and bulk oxygen isotope ...
