The Osmium Isotope Signature of Phanerozoic Large Igneous Provinces

open access: yesGeophysical Monograph Series, Page 229-246., 2021

Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact

An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

THE EXISTENCE OF GROUPS OF METEORITE-PRODUCING FIRE-BALLS AND METEORITES IN COMET-LIKE ORBITS

open access: yesOdessa Astronomical Publications, 2018
This paper discusses the existence of groups of meteorite-producing fireballs and ordinary chondrites in the Earth-crossing Jupiter-family comet-like (JFC) orbits.

Trace element geochemistry of ordinary chondrite chondrules: the type I/type II chondrule dichotomy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We report trace element concentrations of silicate phases in chondrules from LL3 ordinary chondrites Bishunpur and Semarkona. Results are similar to previously reported data for carbonaceous chondrites, with rare earth element (REE) concentrations ...

An investigation of the 27 July 2018 bolide and meteorite fall over Benenitra, southwestern Madagascar

open access: yesSouth African Journal of Science, 2021
Several dozen stones of an ordinary chondrite meteorite fell in and around the town of Benenitra in southwestern Madagascar during the early evening of 27 July 2018, minutes after a widely observed meteor fireball (bolide) transit and detonation.

The Mobility of Major and Trace Elements in EOC Minerals on Parent Chondrite Bodies

open access: yesGeosciences
The combined EPMA and SIMS study of the geochemical features of olivine, low-Ca pyroxene and plagioclase in equilibrated ordinary chondrites (EOCs) has revealed the effect of thermal metamorphism on trace element concentrations in EOC silicate minerals ...

Report on Antarctic meteorites search around the Sor Rondane Mountains, JARE-29 1988-1989

open access: yesAntarctic Record, 1990
A systematic search for Antarctic meteorites was carried out by the Asuka winter party of the 29th Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition on the bare ice field around the Sφr Rondane Mountains in the 1987-1988 and 1988-1989 field seasons.

Mineralogical Characterization of Baptistina Asteroid Family: Implications for K/T Impactor Source

open access: yes, 2011
Bottke et al. (2007) linked the catastrophic formation of Baptistina Asteroid Family (BAF) to the K/T impact event. This linkage was based on dynamical and compositional evidence, which suggested the impactor had a composition similar to CM2 carbonaceous

The effect of aqueous alteration and metamorphism in the survival of presolar silicate grains in chondrites [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Relatively small amounts (typically between 2-200 parts per million) of presolar grains have been preserved in the matrices of chondritic meteorites.

The effect of terrestrial weathering on the magnetic properties of meteorites from the Atacama Desert

open access: yesУчёные записки Казанского университета: Серия Естественные науки
Once ordinary chondrites fall on Earth, Fe–Ni minerals and troilite they contain oxidize and transform into iron oxyhydroxides and/or iron oxides, which is expected to modify their magnetic properties.
