Kindberg, the fifth meteorite fall in Austria: A weakly shocked L6 chondrite breccia with high‐pressure phases

open access: yesMeteoritics &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.

Textural and geochemical diversity of impact melt rock clasts in Apollo 16 sample 67015: Implications for the provenance of impact ejecta in the lunar highlands

open access: yesMeteoritics &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.

Planetesimal Impact Vapor Plumes and Nebular Shocks Form Chondritic Mixtures

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal
The origin of chondrules and the chondritic sedimentary rocks that dominate the meteoritic record is a long-standing problem in planetary science. Here, we develop a physical model for the formation of chondritic mixtures as an outcome of vaporizing ...

Synthesis of Si-Fe Chondrule-like Dust Analogues in RF Discharge Plasmas

open access: yesApplied Sciences
Chondrules are tiny particles that occur in stony meteorites and are considered as the building blocks of early asteroids and planets. It is believed that they were formed by the fast heating of the dust in the solar nebula.

Textural and minerochemical features of NWA 1807 and 2180, two new CV3 chondrites from northwest Africa [PDF]

open access: yes, 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 ...

Nondestructive analysis of Bennu samples toward comparative studies with Ryugu samples

open access: yesMeteoritics &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.

Micromagnetic and microstructural analyses in chondrules of the Allende meteorite

open access: yesRevista Mexicana de Ciencias Geológicas, 2018
Results of micromagnetic and microstructural studies of individual chondrules from the Allende carbonaceous meteorite are presented. Allende is a member of the CV3 carbonaceous chondrites, and part of the oxidized meteorites with iron in silicates and ...

A new CH carbonaceous chondrite from Acfer, Algeria [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
A single stone weighing 1456 g was found in November 2002 in the Acfer area, Algeria. Oxygen isotope, chondrules-matrix ratio as well as other petrographic features point to a classification as CH carbonaceous ...
