Butler, missouri: an unusual iron meteorite.
نویسنده
چکیده
The Butler iron meteorite has been found to have, with respect to other iron meteorites, an unusually high cobalt content (1.4 percent by weight), unusually high germanium contents in the kamacite and the taenite phases, and an unusually low cooling rate (0.5 degrees C/10(6) years). It is suggested that Butler formed in a different environment from that of the rest of the iron meteorites.

متن کاملPontlyfni: a Differentiated Meteorite Related to the Group Iab Irons
The Pontlyfni meteorite fell on Coch-y-Bug Farm, Pontlyfni, Llanwnda, Caernarvonshire, Wales at 11 : 53; April 14, 1931 [1]. Most of the mass is believed to have fallen into the sea, but a 150-g stone was seen to fall on land and was recovered. L.J. Spencer was allowed to examine the stone shortly after its fall, but he could only state that it was a meteori te of an unusual type. The meteorite...
متن کاملLut 009, an H4 (S2, W4) ordinary chondrite meteorite from Lut Desert of Iran
Lut 009 meteorite was found during a trip to Lut Desert of Iran in March,2012, at 30°20.38' N, 59°09.04' E. Chemical compositions of equilibrated olivine (Fa19.3 ± 0.5) and orthopyroxene (Fs16.7 ± 0.6) show that the meteorite sample belongs to H group of ordinary chondrites, while the texture (chondrule petrography and plagioclase size) suggests a petrologic type of 4. The Lut 009 has been very...
متن کاملIron meteorites can support the growth of acidophilic chemolithoautotrophic microorganisms.
Chemolithoautotrophy based on reduced inorganic minerals is considered a primitive energy transduction system. Evidence that a high number of meteorites crashed into the planet during the early period of Earth history led us to test the ability of iron-oxidizing bacteria to grow using iron meteorites as their source of energy. Here we report the growth of two acidophilic iron-oxidizing bacteria...
متن کاملIron meteorites: Crystallization, thermal history, parent bodies, and origin
We review the crystallization of the iron meteorite chemical groups, the thermal history of the irons as revealed by the metallographic cooling rates, the ages of the iron meteorites and their relationships with other meteorite types, and the formation of the iron meteorite parent bodies. Within most iron meteorite groups, chemical trends are broadly consistent with fractional crystallization, ...
