Weathering of Ordinary Chondrites from the Atacama Desert, Chile: First Results from Mössbauer Spectroscopy
The lunar meteorites have valuable informations for understanding the evolution of the Moon’s crust, because each meteorite may potentially provide a new insight into the thermal history of unexplored regions of the Moon. In spite of their scientific interests, chronological studies of Very-Low-Ti (VLT) basaltic meteorites have not be well understood, since the most VLT basalt meteorites are br...
متن کاملIn-situ U-Pb dating of phosphates in lunar basaltic breccia
Introduction: The lunar meteorites have been valuable sources for understanding the evolution of the Moon's crust, because each meteorite could potentially provide a new insight into the thermal history of unexplored regions of the Moon. In spite of their scientific interests, chronological studies of Very-Low-Ti (VLT) basaltic meteorites have not be well understood, since the most VLT basalt m...
متن کاملTracking secular changes in the “water” content of lunar interior using basaltic lunar meteorites
Lunar meteorites provide a wider sampling of the lunar surface compared to the samples collected during the Apollo and Luna Missions. Apatite is the main hydroxyl-bearing (proxy for water) mineral in lunar samples, especially in basaltic rocks. Apatite is also amenable to in-situ U-Pb age dating studies. The ages of lunar basaltic meteorites also span over a larger range compared to basaltic sa...
متن کاملMonazite Dating of Lunar Meteorite Nwa
Introduction. According to their textural and geochemical similarity it was suggested previously that the lunar meteorite NWA 4734 could be launch paired with Antarctic Mare basalts (LAP 02205/224/226/436-03632-04841) themselves possibly paired with NWA 032/470 lunar meteorites despite their different textures (1-5). A possible clue about the pairing issue is evidently their age. Method : After...
متن کاملPressure and Timing of the Shock Events Recorded in L6 Chondrites
Introduction: Collision of planetesimals is a fundamental process of formation and evolution of planets. Shocked meteorites are the unique and important samples that provide us some information about collision histories in the solar system. Based on the shock me-tamorphic features, several studies estimated shock conditions of meteorites such as pressure, temperature and shock duration [e.g., 1...
