Asteroidal water within fluid inclusion-bearing halite in an H5 chondrite, Monahans (1998)
Crystals of halite and sylvite within the Monahans (1998) H5 chondrite contain aqueous fluid inclusions. The fluids are dominantly sodium chloride-potassium chloride brines, but they also contain divalent cations such as iron, magnesium, or calcium. Two possible origins for the brines are indigenous fluids flowing within the asteroid and exogenous fluids delivered into the asteroid surface from...
متن کاملPetrographic Study of Thermal and Shock Metamorphism of the Hungarian
Introduction We investigated two processes in a series of the Hungarian L-chondrites: shock and thermal metamorphism. Thermal metamorphism transforms the textures in the relatively small chondritic planetary body. Shock metamorphism is caused by hypervelocity impact processes transforming texture and mineral structure mainly in the outermost layers of the chondritic planetary body [1,2]. The pu...

متن کاملThe Physics of Shock Waves and Experimental Shock Metamorphism: Dieter
Introduction: The cooperation between Dieter Stöffler and Ernst-Mach-Institut (EMI) [1-14] goes back to 1972 when first experiments were performed to shock single crystal feldspars by steel plates that were accelerated with an explosive plane wave generator [1,7]. The shock experiments initiated a series of studies that required versatile and reliable test methods for the generation of Hugoniot...
متن کاملOrganic matter in extraterrestrial water-bearing salt crystals
Direct evidence of complex prebiotic chemistry from a water-rich world in the outer solar system is provided by the 4.5-billion-year-old halite crystals hosted in the Zag and Monahans (1998) meteorites. This study offers the first comprehensive organic analysis of the soluble and insoluble organic compounds found in the millimeter-sized halite crystals containing brine inclusions and sheds ligh...
