Formation mechanisms of ringwoodite: clues from the Martian meteorite Northwest Africa 8705

Earth, Planets and Space, 2021
Ringwoodite and wadsleyite are the high-pressure polymorphs of olivine, which are common in shocked meteorites. They are the major constituent minerals in the terrestrial mantle.

Contourite erosional and depositional features of the Maastrichtian chalk on Jasmund peninsula (Rügen island, NE Germany)

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Seismic‐scale features such as deeply incised submarine valleys and mounded drifts together with ichnological features indicative of discontinuous sedimentation and erosional episodes have recently been documented from the Upper Cretaceous chalk in the southern Baltic Sea area.

Two faces of L-type asteroids

Astronomy & Astrophysics
Context. L-types are a rare class of asteroids whose spectra indicate similarities with CO and CV chondrites, suggesting high abundances of refractory inclusions, particularly with respect to the calcium-aluminium-rich inclusion.

Rare Earth Element Potential in the Araí Rift Metavolcanic, Central Brazil: Gamma‐Ray Signatures, Mineralogy and Exploration Implications

Terra Nova, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although central Brazil hosts significant ion‐adsorption rare earth element (REE) deposits associated with A‐type granites, their coeval volcanic counterparts have been largely overlooked as exploration targets. This study demonstrates that acidic metavolcanic rocks of the Araí Group share strong radiometric, geochemical and mineralogical ...

Spectral Reflectance Properties (0.3–2.5 μm) of LL Ordinary Chondrites

The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
Spectral characterization of asteroids relies on meteorite spectral calibration to constrain their surface mineralogy. We have conducted a comprehensive spectroscopic study of LL chondrites to shed light on the factors that control their reflectance ...

Sorting and recycling processes of early inner Solar System materials

Astronomy & Astrophysics
Context. Within pristine chondrites, chondrules and a fine-grained matrix are the dominant components; however, their genetic relationship remains unresolved.

EVOLUTION OF COMET-LIKE ORBITS OF METEORITE- PRODUCING GROUPS AND THEIR PARENT BODIES

Odessa Astronomical Publications, 2019
This paper presents the results of the study of evolution of Jupiter-family comet-like orbits of six meteorite-producing groups, including sporadic fireballs from the IAU MDC database 2007 [1], sporadic meteors from the SonataCo database [2 ...

Procurement of Senonian Flint for Bladelets Production at the Early PPNB Site of Nahal Zahal in the Northern Negev Established for the First Time Using Chemical Composition Analysis

Archaeometry, Volume 68, Issue 6, Page 1428-1436, December 2026.
ABSTRACT The hypotheses of Senonian flint to be a prime source of prehistoric “chalcedony” flint artefacts from the Negev Desert (Israel) was not investigated in detail thus far. By combining trace‐element profiling with statistical interpretation, ten flint items from Nahal Zahal, an Early Pre‐Pottery Neolithic B site in the northern Negev, were ...

Sulfidation Reaction Mechanisms of Olivine and Diopside at Mercury's Reducing Conditions

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 11, November 2026.
Abstract The surface of Mercury contains elevated amounts of sulfur of up to 4 wt.%. Volcanic degassing of S from the interior of the planet could have initiated sulfidation reactions between the degassed S and surface materials in the planet's past, leading to the observed surface S enrichment.
