Using X‐ray computed microtomography (μCT) to determine subsample‐specific cosmogenic noble gas production rates of E (enstatite) chondrites

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 60, Issue 3, Page 442-463, March 2025.
Abstract Cosmic ray exposure (CRE) ages provide information about the parent bodies and source regions of meteorite classes. Cosmogenic noble gases are often used to quantify exposure time scales ranging from tens of ka to hundreds of Ma. The production rate of cosmogenic noble gases is primarily controlled by a meteorite's chemical composition ...

A primitive asteroid that lived fast and died young sampled by a xenolith in the Cold Bokkeveld CM2 carbonaceous chondrite

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 60, Issue 3, Page 464-483, March 2025.
Abstract Xenoliths in carbonaceous chondrites include lithologies that are unrepresented in the meteorite record and so are a rich source of information on asteroid diversity. Cold Bokkeveld is a CM2 regolith breccia that contains both hydrous and anhydrous lithic clasts. Here, we describe a hydrous clast with a fine‐grained rim.

The Meteoritic Theory [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 1889
I HAVE during the past six months been led from the study of our own atmosphere to consider certain phenomena relating on the one hand to the solar atmo-physics, and on the other hand to the evolution of our own globe and its atmosphere. There has thus arisen in my mind a system of cosmogony which has led me, quite independent of Mr.

Iron and copper sulfides in asteroid (162173) Ryugu: Formation conditions and a comparison to the CI and CY chondrites

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 60, Issue 3, Page 506-528, March 2025.
Abstract JAXA's Hayabusa2 sample return mission visited the volatile‐rich carbonaceous (C‐type) asteroid (162173) Ryugu with the aim of ground‐truthing remote observations, returning a pristine sample from a C‐type asteroid, and strengthening links between asteroids and the meteorite collection. Here, we have conducted a systematic study of coarse (>10

Organisms and Meteorites [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 1904
I SHOULD be glad to know whether anyone has ever attempted to test the hypothesis of Helmholtz and Lord Kelvin that meteorites are possibly the carriers of organised matter. By pulverising a portion taken from the interior of a meteorite it would, I should suppose, be easy to dissolve out and detect any organic matter that was there.

The solar system Fe/Mg ratio

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 60, Issue 3, Page 529-543, March 2025.
Abstract Solar wind Fe and Mg fluences (atoms/cm2) were measured from Genesis collectors. Fe and Mg have similar first ionization potentials and solar wind Fe/Mg should equal the solar ratio. Solar wind Fe/Mg is a more valid measure of solar composition than CI chondrites and can be measured more accurately than spectroscopic photospheric abundances ...

On the correlation between the enantiomeric excess of L-isovaline and the level of aqueous alteration in carbonaceous meteorites

open access: yesFrontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences
A positive correlation was observed between the enantiomeric excess (ee) of L-isovaline (L-iVal) and the degree of aqueous alteration (AqA) of carbonaceous meteorites.

The variations of chemical composition and features of the distribution of rare elements in chondrites of fragments of the Chelyabinsk meteorite

open access: yesЛитосфера, 2019
Research subject. This paper reports the results of a series of experiments carried out to study the mineral and geoche mical features of 10 Chelyabinsk meteorite fragments.

Mid‐infrared detection and characterization of refractory inclusions in CM and CO chondrites: A non‐destructive approach for returned space samples

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 60, Issue 3, Page 544-569, March 2025.
Abstract Refractory inclusions (RIs) in chondrites are widely used as tracers of early solar system formation conditions. In the context of sample‐return missions, a non‐destructive and non‐invasive analytical tool that can rapidly detect and characterize RIs in space samples during their early phase of study is highly needed.
