Local Structures of Se and Br in Cretaceous–Paleogene Boundary Sediments and Concentration Effects of Ferrihydrite Originating From Impact Ejecta

open access: yesGeological Journal, EarlyView.
Chemical states of Se and Br atoms in the KPg boundary sediments from Stevns Klint were studied using XAFS spectroscopy. The high concentrations of Se4+ could become an index of the degree to which the global environment was soiled with dust and ash derived from impact ejecta or volcanic eruptions.

The Mg/Fe ratio of silicate minerals in the meteoritic materials and in the circumstellar environment: A case study for the chondritic-like composition

open access: yesOpen Astronomy, 2021
Kaba meteorite as a reference material (one of a least metamorphosed and most primitive carbonaceous chondrites fell on Earth) was chosen for this study providing an adequate background for study of the protoplanetary disk or even the crystallization ...

Jewelled Byzantine and Medieval Reliquaries of the True Cross: Peridots and Other Gemstones in Material and Symbolic Perspective

open access: yesJournal of Raman Spectroscopy, EarlyView.
An interdisciplinary in situ study of jewelled reliquaries of the True Cross integrates gemmology and portable analytical techniques, revealing new evidence on the identification and symbolic role of peridots and other gemstones. ABSTRACT Jewelled crosses containing relics of the True Cross occupy a central position in the devotional, artistic and ...

A Model Study on the Dynamics of the Amino Acid Content in Micrometeoroids during Atmospheric Entry

open access: yesChemistry, 2020
A model for the survival of the amino acid content in micrometeorites and its possible transformations upon atmospheric entry is described. Since any organic species released in the atmosphere at high altitudes would exhibit a limited lifetime with ...

Results of an Eight-Year Extraction of Phosphorus Minerals within the Seymchan Meteorite

open access: yesLife, 2022
In-fall of extraterrestrial material including meteorites and interstellar dust particles during the late heavy bombardment are known to have brought substantial amounts of reduced oxidation-state phosphorus to the early Earth in the form of siderophilic

Ontogeny of foraging behaviour in an opportunistic gull inhabiting urban marine ecosystems

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Urbanization affects ecosystems by reducing biodiversity and displacing species from native habitats. While some suffer, others, like urban wildlife, adapt through innovative feeding and behaviours that improve their fitness in human‐altered settings. Despite research on wildlife in urban areas, the development of foraging behaviour in urban species is

A noble gas data collection of lunar meteorites [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
We collected the published noble gas data of altogether 35 lunar meteorites. This compilation includes the stable isotopes of He, Ne, Ar, Kr, and Xe. We also give a summary of cosmogenic, trapped, and radiogenic noble gas components of lunar meteorites ...

Study of Iron and Stony Meteorite Ablation Based on Simulation Experiments in an Arc Heater

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
To observe meteorite ablation, simulation experiments were conducted on the L5 ordinary chondrite and IAB-MG iron meteorites in an arc-heated facility and three flight conditions were reproduced.

Characterization of Potential Micrometeorites by Synchrotron Analysis

open access: yesGeosciences, 2020
Micrometeorites (MMs) are small particles that account for most of the extraterrestrial material deposited on Earth. Synchrotron X-ray fluorescence and diffraction allowed for chemical and mineral characterization to distinguish MM from atmospheric ...
