Mineralogy, petrography, and thermometry of the H5 chondrite Carcote, Chile

Mineralogy and Petrography of Mil 090001, a Highly Altered Cv Chondrite from the Reduced Sub-group

Department of Mineralogy , Petrography and Geochemistry

Department of Mineralogy, Petrography and Geochemistry is the oldest Earth science department at the AGH University of Science and Technology. It was created in 1919 as one of the first six departments of the Academy of Mining and was initially named as the Department of Mineralogy and Petrography. The Department was organized by Professor Józef Morozewicz (1865–1941) who chaired the Organizing...

Petrography and Metallographic Cooling Rate of H-chondrite Impact Melt

Introduction: Impact melts resulting from craterproducing impacts on asteroids can be used to understand the collisional evolution of our solar system. Part of that analysis includes an assessment of the cooling rates of the impact melts and/or the locations where the melts are deposited. In this study, we examined LAP 04751 [1], which is an impact melt breccia that came from the H-chondrite pa...

Petrography and Mineralogy of Dhofar 1428 Lunar Highland Regolith Breccia

Introduction: Dhofar 1428 is a lunar feldspathic breccia found in 2006. Bunch et al. [1] briefly described mineral chemistry of Dhofar 1428. Korotev and Zeigler [2] analyzed its bulk FeO and Sm compositions. Here, we report such detailed data for Dhofar 1428. Results and Discussion: Dhofar 1428 has a distinct breccia texture with numerous fragments of rock, mineral, and glass all welded by a gl...

Mineralogy of the Neuschwanstein (el6) Chondrite - First Results

Introduction: A brilliant fireball was seen by many eye-witnesses in Austria and Germany on April 6, 2002, 20:20 h (UT). The associated meteorite fall was well documented by the European Fireball Network (EN). Based on the EN photographs the meteoroid orbit and the impact area were calculated by Spurny et al. [1], which finally led to the recovery of a single stone of 1.75 kg in July 14, 2002. ...
