Geochemical and petrographic re‐evaluation of ungrouped iron meteorites from Western Australia

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 3, Page 444-465, March 2026.
Abstract Under the current classification scheme, ungrouped irons make up ~11% of all recognized iron meteorites. A further ~7% of iron meteorites are currently classified as simply “irons” and are yet to be fully classified. To potentially classify these meteorites, newer approaches, including either statistical modeling or advanced geochemical ...

Shock metamorphic effects in Itokawa phosphates: A comparison with megaregolith‐derived meteorites

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 3, Page 351-370, March 2026.
Abstract Returned regolith samples from the asteroid Itokawa provide a unique opportunity to compare shock metamorphic effects in unconsolidated regolith materials with those preserved in lithified meteorites, that is, megaregolith. We analyzed four Itokawa particles (Ueda—RA‐QD02‐0519, Narahara—RA‐QD02‐0573, Domon—RA‐QD02‐0588, Ishiuchi—RX‐MD03‐0212 ...

Moon's volcanic history revealed in glassy spherules from Apollo 17 soil 76501

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 3, Page 389-404, March 2026.
Abstract Rapidly quenched droplets of pyroclastically erupted lava are common in lunar regolith at landing sites proximal to the maria. Here, we document the U‐Pb chronologies, major element, and trace element compositions of picritic glassy particles from Apollo 17 regolith sample 76501. These particles are dominated by high‐Ti compositions similar to

X‐ray computed tomography study of terrestrial analog cores in preparation for Mars sample return

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 3, Page 405-426, March 2026.
Abstract Mars Sample Return (MSR) is expected to transform planetary science by providing unprecedented access to pristine Martian material. Initial characterization in the sample receiving facility (SRF) will rely on nondestructive techniques such as X‐ray computed tomography (XCT) to document the condition, distribution, and internal features of ...

Drelów, the 13th and latest meteorite fall in Poland—A typical L6 chondrite with shock veins

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 3, Page 466-486, March 2026.
Abstract On Tuesday, February 18, 2025, at 18:04:14 local time, residents of Poland observed a bright fireball registered by many Polish fireball stations belonging to the Skytinel Network established a few months before by Mateusz Żmija. Thus, the meteoroid's orbit, atmospheric trajectory, and the strewn field were calculated, and over 70 fragments ...

Combining universal‐stage, backscatter electron imaging and electron backscatter diffraction for improved indexing of planar microstructures in quartz and plagioclase

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 3, Page 487-503, March 2026.
Abstract Quartz and feldspar commonly develop planar microstructures due to shock metamorphism. These are generally investigated and indexed (identifying the crystallographic orientation along which they developed) using a universal stage (U‐stage) on a petrographic microscope.

Substitution of Fe3+ into anorthite in oxidized, Al‐deficient ferrobasaltic systems with implications for the petrogenesis of angrite meteorites

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 3, Page 427-443, March 2026.
Abstract Angrite meteorites are critically silica‐undersaturated igneous rocks with high Ca/Al and Fe/Mg, along with depletion in volatile lithophile elements Na and K such that they crystallize anorthite along with olivine and calcic pyroxene. The anorthite in angrites contains substantial Fe, and in NWA 1670 and NWA 1296, it is present at major ...

Comets: Cosmic connections with carbonaceous meteorites, interstellar molecules and the origin of life [PDF]

The ions, radicals, and molecules observed in comets may be derived intact or by partial decomposition from parent compounds of the sort found either in the interstellar medium or in carbonaceous meteorites.

Al‐Khadhaf: The first camera‐observed (H5–6) meteorite fall from Oman

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 3, Page 522-547, March 2026.
Abstract A fireball camera system installed in 2022 by the Oman Meteorite Monitoring Project (OMMP) as part of the Global Fireball Observatory (GFO) recorded a 3.2 s fireball on March 8, 2022 at 8:15 p.m. UTC. A meteoroid of 4 ± 2 kg entered the atmosphere at 14.0 km/s.
