Shock-transformation of whitlockite to merrillite and the implications for meteoritic phosphate

open access: yesNature 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,

Micro segregation rates of liquid Fe-Ni-S metal in natural silicate-metal systems: A combined experimental and numerical study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
We present results of an image‐based numerical model aimed at quantifying the microsegregation and flow of liquid metal in meteorites prior to the onset of silicate melting. The sample material is the H6 chondrite Kernouvé.

Classification of stony meteorites and chondrules – the case of meteorite Jesenice

open access: yesGeologija, 2012
In the first part of the paper there is a description about genesis of meteorites, in particularly about stony meteorites– chondrites, since meteorite Jesenice is an ordinary L chondrite. Chondrules represent main part of the mass ofchondritic meteorites.
