Correlation of Thermomagnetic Behavior of Carbonaceous Chondrites with Chemical Petrographic Classification
نویسنده
چکیده
Some degree of correlation is noted between the thermomagnetic behavior of the carbonaceous chondrites and the chemical-petrographic classification scheme of Van Schmus and Hayes.

Petrographic, chemical and spectroscopic evidence for thermal metamorphism in carbonaceous chondrites I: CI and CM chondrites
We present a comprehensive description of petrologic, chemical and spectroscopic features of thermally metamorphosed CI-like and CM (and CM-like) chondrites. Only two such CI chondrites have so far been discovered i.e. Y-86029 and Y82162. Thermal metamorphism in these chondrites is apparent in their low contents of H2O, C and the most thermally labile trace elements, partial dehydration of matr...
متن کاملSystematics and Evaluation of Meteorite Classification
Classification of meteorites is largely based on their mineralogical and petrographic characteristics and their whole-rock chemical and O-isotopic compositions. According to the currently used classification scheme, meteorites are divided into chondrites, primitive achondrites, and achondrites. There are 15 chondrite groups, including 8 carbonaceous (CI, CM, CO, CV, CK, CR, CH, CB), 3 ordinary ...
متن کاملCalcium isotopic compositions of chondrites
We report mass-dependent and mass-independent Ca isotopic variations in nine chondrites from three groups: carbonaceous, ordinary and enstatite chondrites. There is about 0.25‰ per amu, i.e., 1‰ in Ca/Ca, variation in chondrites: carbonaceous chondrites have the lightest Ca isotopes, enstatite chondrites have modeled bulk Earth like Ca isotopes, and ordinary chondrites are in between. The corre...
متن کاملThe paradox between low shock-stage and evidence for compaction in CM carbonaceous chondrites explained by multiple low-intensity impacts
Petrographic analysis of eight CM carbonaceous chondrites (EET 96029, LAP 031166, LON 94101, MET 01072, Murchison, Murray, SCO 06043, QUE 93005) by electron imaging and diffraction, and X-ray computed tomography, reveals that six of them have a petrofabric defined by shock flattened chondrules. With the exception of Murchison, those CMs that have a strong petrofabric also contain open or minera...
متن کاملComparative Re-Os systematics of chondrites: Implications regarding early solar system processes
A suite of 47 carbonaceous, enstatite, and ordinary chondrites are examined for Re-Os isotopic systematics. There are significant differences in the Re/Os and Os/Os ratios of carbonaceous chondrites compared with ordinary and enstatite chondrites. The average Re/Os for carbonaceous chondrites is 0.392 0.015 (excluding the CK chondrite, Karoonda), compared with 0.422 0.025 and 0.421 0.013 for or...
