A geophysical investigation of the Roter Kamm impact crater, Namibia
Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.Abstract The Roter Kamm impact crater is located in the southern Namib Desert. The crater has a diameter of 2.5 km and belongs to the category of simple, bowl‐shaped impact craters, with an elevated rim of fractured target rock. The crater's interior is completely buried beneath sediments, preventing extensive surface investigations of the bedrock ...

Shock-transformation of whitlockite to merrillite and the implications for meteoritic phosphate
Nature Communications, 2017 Quantifying the amount of water in meteorites remains challenging, with minerals the key to understanding water contents. Here, Adcocket al. perform shock experiments on H+-bearing whitlockite demonstrating that it may transform into anhydrous merrillite,

60Fe-60Ni chronology of core formation in Mars
, 2014 The timescales of accretion, core formation, and magmatic differentiation in planetary bodies can be constrained using extinct radionuclide systems. Experiments have shown that Ni becomes more siderophile with decreasing pressure, which is reflected in ...

Rapid terrestrial weathering of the CI1 carbonaceous chondrite find Oued Chebeika 002
Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.Abstract Alteration of historic CI1 meteorite falls during their curation demonstrates the susceptibility of smectite‐rich carbonaceous chondrites to terrestrial exposure. The discovery of Oued Chebeika 002 in Morocco in June 2024 presents a unique opportunity to document the earliest stages of weathering of a CI1 find.

Moon's volcanic history revealed in glassy spherules from Apollo 17 soil 76501
Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.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
