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

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
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

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
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 ...

Mineral Chemistry Studies on Pyroxenes in Fe Skarns in the West of Elazığ (Turkey); Their Role in the Skarn Mineralization Process

Applied Sciences
This study presents the first detailed investigation of pyroxene zoning within polymetallic skarn zones of the Elazığ region. Skarns develop along contacts between plutonic rocks (diorite and granite) and carbonate rocks, forming two main zones ...

Fine-Scale Variations in Eucritic Pyroxene FeO/MnO: Process vs. Provenance. [PDF]

, 2018
Most asteroidal igneous rocks are eucrite-like basalts and gabbros, composed mostly of ferroan low- and high-Ca pyroxenes and calcic plagioclase, plus smaller amounts of silica (most commonly tridymite), ilmenite, chromite, troilite, Ca-phosphate, metal ...

Substitution of Fe3+ into anorthite in oxidized, Al‐deficient ferrobasaltic systems with implications for the petrogenesis of angrite meteorites

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Angrite meteorites are critically silica‐undersaturated igneous rocks with high Ca/Al and Fe/Mg, along with depletion in volatile lithophile elements Na and K such that they crystallize anorthite along with olivine and calcic pyroxene. The anorthite in angrites contains substantial Fe, and in NWA 1670 and NWA 1296, it is present at major ...

Biotite composition constrains Tongling skarn Cu–Au mineralization, eastern China

Solid Earth Sciences
Skarn Cu, Au deposits are most important deposit-type in the Tongling region, eastern China, where skarn Au deposits are closely associated with pyroxene monzodiorite, and skarn Cu deposits are genetically related to quartz monzodiorite and granodiorite.

Diffusion kinetics of ³He in pyroxene and plagioclase and applications to cosmogenic exposure dating and paleothermometry in mafic rocks [PDF]

Geochronology
In this study, we investigate the diffusivity of cosmogenic 3He in a variety of plagioclase and pyroxene compositions, and its application to paleothermometry and exposure dating in these minerals, through stepwise degassing experiments. While cosmogenic

Al‐Khadhaf: The first camera‐observed (H5–6) meteorite fall from Oman

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract A fireball camera system installed in 2022 by the Oman Meteorite Monitoring Project (OMMP) as part of the Global Fireball Observatory (GFO) recorded a 3.2 s fireball on March 8, 2022 at 8:15 p.m. UTC. A meteoroid of 4 ± 2 kg entered the atmosphere at 14.0 km/s.
