Rapid methods of determining cooling rates of iron and stony iron meteorites.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Two rapid and simple methods have been developed for determining the approximate cooling rates of iron and stony-iron meteorites in which kamacite formed by diffusion-controlled growth along planar fronts. The first method requires only measurements of the mean kamacite bandwidth and the bulk nickel content. The second method requires the determination of the nickel composition near the taenite-kamacite interface with an electron microprobe.

Determining cooling rates of iron and stony-iron meteorites from measurements of Ni and Co at kamacite–taenite interfaces
Analyses and modeling of Ni zoning in taenite in differentiated meteorites provide metallographic cooling rates at 500 C that are inconsistent with conventional formation models. Group IVA iron meteorites have very diverse cooling rates of 100–6600 C/Myr indicating that they cooled inside a large metallic body with little or no silicate mantle (Yang et al., 2007). Wasson and Hoppe (2012) have q...
متن کاملNucleation of the Widmanstatten Pattern in Iron Meteorites
Introduction: The Widmanstatten pattern develops at low temperatures during the evolution of the asteroids. We have studied the origin of the Widmanstatten pattern in order to obtain metallographic cooling rates in the temperature range (~ 700 to 300 deg C). This paper summarizes our recent evaluation of the various mechanisms for the formation of the Widmanstatten pattern. All chemical groups ...
متن کاملCore crystallization and silicate-metal mixing in the parent body of the IVA iron and stony-iron meteorites
We have analyzed metallic and silicate phases in the IVA iron meteorites and two related stony irons, Steinbach and Sgo JoHo Nepomuceno. Analyses of bulk metal phases in the two stony irons using INAA show that they plot as close to the chemical trends within group IVA as most IVA irons, indicating a common source. Our fractional crystallization models for the IVA chemical trends suggest that t...
متن کاملNoble Gas Measurements of the Grant Iiiab Iron Meteorite
Introduction: In contrast to stony meteorites, which have exposure ages usually not higher than a few tens of million years, most iron meteorites exhibit cosmic-ray exposures of hundreds of million years. Consequently, iron meteorites have collected information about the solar system, encoded in cosmogenic nuclides, for much longer than stony meteorites. Iron meteorites are therefore indispensa...
