Geochemical and petrographic re‐evaluation of ungrouped iron meteorites from Western Australia

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 3, Page 444-465, March 2026.
Abstract Under the current classification scheme, ungrouped irons make up ~11% of all recognized iron meteorites. A further ~7% of iron meteorites are currently classified as simply “irons” and are yet to be fully classified. To potentially classify these meteorites, newer approaches, including either statistical modeling or advanced geochemical ...

Shock metamorphic effects in Itokawa phosphates: A comparison with megaregolith‐derived meteorites

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 3, Page 351-370, March 2026.
Abstract Returned regolith samples from the asteroid Itokawa provide a unique opportunity to compare shock metamorphic effects in unconsolidated regolith materials with those preserved in lithified meteorites, that is, megaregolith. We analyzed four Itokawa particles (Ueda—RA‐QD02‐0519, Narahara—RA‐QD02‐0573, Domon—RA‐QD02‐0588, Ishiuchi—RX‐MD03‐0212 ...

Moon's volcanic history revealed in glassy spherules from Apollo 17 soil 76501

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 3, Page 389-404, March 2026.
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

X‐ray computed tomography study of terrestrial analog cores in preparation for Mars sample return

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 3, Page 405-426, March 2026.
Abstract Mars Sample Return (MSR) is expected to transform planetary science by providing unprecedented access to pristine Martian material. Initial characterization in the sample receiving facility (SRF) will rely on nondestructive techniques such as X‐ray computed tomography (XCT) to document the condition, distribution, and internal features of ...

Drelów, the 13th and latest meteorite fall in Poland—A typical L6 chondrite with shock veins

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 3, Page 466-486, March 2026.
Abstract On Tuesday, February 18, 2025, at 18:04:14 local time, residents of Poland observed a bright fireball registered by many Polish fireball stations belonging to the Skytinel Network established a few months before by Mateusz Żmija. Thus, the meteoroid's orbit, atmospheric trajectory, and the strewn field were calculated, and over 70 fragments ...
