Impact fracturing and aqueous alteration of the CM carbonaceous chondrites [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Aqueous alteration of the CM carbonaceous chondrites has produced a suite of secondary minerals, and differences between meteorites in their abundance defines a progressive alteration sequence [e.g. 1, 2]. The means by which this water gained access

Meteorite cloudy zone formation as a quantitative indicator of paleomagnetic field intensities and cooling rates on planetesimals

open access: yes, 2019
Metallic microstructures in slowly-cooled iron-rich meteorites reflect the thermal and magnetic histories of their parent planetesimals. Of particular interest is the cloudy zone, a nanoscale intergrowth of Ni-rich islands within a Ni-poor matrix that ...

Sulfur‐bearing serpentine in carbonaceous chondrites

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract A correlative multi‐technique approach, including electron microscopy and X‐ray synchrotron work, has been used to obtain both structural and compositional information of a sulfur‐bearing serpentine identified in several carbonaceous chondrites (Winchcombe CM2, Aguas Zarcas CM2, Ivuna CI, and Orgueil CI), and in Ryugu samples returned by the ...

Determining impact angle from the spatial distribution of shock metamorphism: A case study of the Gosses Bluff (Tnorala) impact structure, Australia

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The majority of planetary impacts occur at oblique angles. Impact structures on Earth are commonly eroded or buried, rendering the identification of the direction and angle of impact—using methods such as asymmetries in ejecta distribution, surface topographic expression, central uplift structure, and geophysical anomalies—challenging. In this

Similar features of the Earth’s magnetic field components during fall of the Tunguska and Chelyabinsk bolides

open access: yesГеодинамика и тектонофизика, 2019
A superbolide with an estimated mass of 13,000 tonnes exploded at an altitude of 22 km over the city of Chelyabinsk (Russia) at 03 hours 20 min. 33 sec. UTC on February 15, 2013. It is now known as the Chelyabinsk meteorite. Over the past 100 years after

Seismic reflection and topography insights into Ries crater diameter and megablock zone

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Most of the extensive crater‐wide geophysical studies at the Ries impact structure were made decades ago when the origin of the structure was still being debated. Although it is one of the most studied impact structures, its internal structure was not imaged in high resolution until recently.

Dual isotopic composition of methane in Murchison meteorite [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
Dual isotopic composition (H and C) of methane extracted from a small sample of Murchison meteorite reveals a deuterium enrichment for this molecule, indicating the presence of interstellar ...

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

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
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.

Material composition of the Severnyy Kolchim meteorite

open access: yesVestnik Permskogo Universiteta: Seriâ Geologiâ, 2019
New data on the material composition of the Severny Kolchim meteorite, found in the Perm region territory in 1965, is presented. It is established that the cosmic substance is composed of forsterite, enstatite, diopside, plagioclase (oligoclase ...
