Abundances of ordinary chondrites in thermally evolving planetesimals [PDF]
Chondrites are one of the most primitive objects in the solar system, and keep the record of the degree of thermal metamorphism experienced in their parent bodies. This thermal history can be classified by the petrologic type. We investigate the thermal evolution of planetesimals to account for the current abundances (known as the fall statistics) of ...

Petrology of blueschist facies metamorphic rocks of the Meliata Unit [PDF]
Meliata blueschists originated from basalts, limestones, pelites, psammitic and amphibolite facies basement rocks. Compositionally, the metabasalts have a geochemical signature mostly indicative of a transitional arc-MORB origin, but some mafic rocks ...

Thermal and Impact History of the H Chondrite Parent Asteroid during Metamorphism: Constraints from Metallic Fe-Ni [PDF]
We have studied cloudy taenite, metallographic cooling rates, and shock effects in 30 H3-6 chondrites to elucidate the thermal and early impact history of the H chondrite parent body. We focused on H chondrites with Ar-Ar ages greater than 4.4 Gyr and unshocked and mildly shocked H chondrites, as strongly shocked chondrites with such old ages are very ...

Petrology and Geochronology of Metamorphic Zircon
Zircon is perhaps the most commonly dated mineral to constrain metamorphic processes. Indeed, for this review, a literature search on the keywords “metamorphic zir con” retrieved over 5000 peer‐reviewed articles.
