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, EarlyView.
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.

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 ...

Iron Isotope Constraints on the Structure of the Early Solar System

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
The recent advent of nontraditional isotopic systems has revealed that meteorites display a fundamental isotopic dichotomy between noncarbonaceous (NC) and carbonaceous (C) groups, which represent material from the inner and outer solar system ...

Nondestructive analysis of Bennu samples toward comparative studies with Ryugu samples

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
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.

Description and modeling of the Jiddat al Harasis 091 L5 strewn field

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
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.

Modeling enstatite chondrites: Reduced rocks with a pinch of oxidized material (affected by varying H2O(g)) derived from planetesimals shocked during the epoch of giant–planet migration

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The O‐, N‐, Mo‐, Ru‐, Os‐, Cr‐, Ti‐, Ni‐, Fe‐, Nd‐, Ca‐, Zn‐, Sr‐, and Mg‐isotopic compositions of enstatite chondrites are essentially identical to those of the Earth and Moon. These correspondences suggest enstatite chondrites formed at ≈1 AU as the only known chondrite groups that accreted in the vicinity of a major planet. Bulk Earth has a

YARATKULOVO – A NEW H-CHONDRITE IN THE URALS: MINERALOGICAL DATA [PDF]

open access: yesМинералогия, 2017
The Yaratkulovo meteorite was found in 2016 in the Argayash district of the Chelyabinsk region. It is a «chondrite breccia», in which the light coarse-grained fragments (primary chondrite) occur in the dark fine-grained matrix (impact assemblages ...

Various Size-sorting Processes for Millimeter-sized Particles in the Sun’s Protoplanetary Disk? Evidence from Chondrules in Ordinary Chondrites

open access: yesAstrophysical Journal, 2019
Chondrules are approximately millimeter-sized beads of crystallized silicate melt. They formed mainly in the first ∼3 Ma of the Sun’s protoplanetary disk and are the main constituents of chondritic asteroids.

Chondrule heritage and thermal histories from trace element and oxygen isotope analyses of chondrules and amoeboid olivine aggregates [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
We report combined oxygen isotope and mineral‐scale trace element analyses of amoeboid olivine aggregates (AOA) and chondrules in ungrouped carbonaceous chondrite, Northwest Africa 5958.

Raman Study of the Slobodka Ordinary Chondrite

open access: yesJournal of Raman Spectroscopy, Volume 56, Issue 11, Page 1329-1344, November 2025.
The texture and mineral chemistry of Slobodka are most consistent with L4 chondrites, exhibiting strong shock metamorphism characteristic of shock stage S4, including irregular and planar fractures, undulatory extinction, and mosaicism in olivine, pyroxene, and plagioclase.
