Geologic history of Martian regolith breccia Northwest Africa 7034: Evidence for hydrothermal activity and lithologic diversity in the Martian crust [PDF]

, 2016
The timing and mode of deposition for Martian regolith breccia Northwest Africa (NWA) 7034 were determined by combining petrography, shape analysis, and thermochronology.

Investigation and reclassification of four mesosiderites—Implications for their formation

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Mesosiderites are rare, differentiated meteorites, so‐called stony‐iron meteorites—they are impact breccias composed of an unusual mix of crustal basalt and pyroxenite, core‐derived metal, but no mantle materials. This odd mixture makes their origin enigmatic and has inspired many different formation theories over the last several decades ...

The Compositional Structure of the Asteroid Belt

, 2015
The past decade has brought major improvements in large-scale asteroid discovery and characterization with over half a million known asteroids and over 100,000 with some measurement of physical characterization.

Petrography of phosphates in CI and CY carbonaceous chondrites

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Phosphate minerals are significant carriers of volatiles (e.g., OH) and halogens in chondritic material; however, their origin in most groups of carbonaceous chondrites remains poorly characterized. We have determined the abundance, morphology, texture, and composition of phosphate grains in aqueously altered CI chondrites and in hydrated and ...

New knowledge about shock events that affected the L‐chondrite parent body from two heavily shocked L6 meteorite finds

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract We report new results from a study of shock‐related features in the L6 ordinary chondrites Northwest Africa (NWA) 4672 and NWA 12841. Our observations confirm the occurrence of eight high‐pressure (HP) minerals in each meteorite, namely, ringwoodite, majorite, akimotoite, wadsleyite, albitic jadeite, lingunite, tuite, and xieite.

Serra Pelada: the first Amazonian Meteorite fall is a Eucrite (basalt) from Asteroid 4-Vesta

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2018
Serra Pelada is the newest Brazilian eucrite and the first recovered fall from Amazonia (State of Pará, Brazil, June 29th 2017). In this paper, we report on its petrography, chemistry, mineralogy and its magnetic properties.

Gold and palladium as indicators of an extraterrestrial component in the Cetaceous/Tertiary boundary layer at Woodside Creek and Chancet Quarry, Marlborough, New Zealand : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Earth Sciences at Massey University [PDF]

, 1998
It is widely believed that a large meteorite approximately 10 km in diameter impacted Earth at the termination of the Cretaceous Period with cosmic velocity, vaporising itself, along with a greater mass of the terrestrial target rocks into a cloud of hot

Cosmic ray exposure and gas retention ages of the shocked angrite Northwest Africa 7203: Implications for a collisional history of angrites' parent body

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Angrites and eucrites are among the oldest basaltic rocks in the solar system. However, the shock histories of these meteorite groups differ markedly, as most angrites show little to no evidence of shock metamorphism. While some angrites exhibit weak wavy extinction in olivine, indicative of low‐level shock, only two—Northwest Africa (NWA ...
