Psd-xrd Modal Mineralogy of Cm Chondrites Spanning the Complete Petrographic Range
Introduction: CM carbonaceous chondrites are samples of incompletely serpentinized fragments of primitive asteroids. These meteorites preserve a record of nebular and parent body processes. CMs are composed predominantly of high temperature anhydrous phases and low temperature serpentine family phyllosilicates. Modal data allows for a greater understanding of CM petrogenesis and for characteriz...
متن کاملKhatyrka, a new CV3 find from the Koryak Mountains, Eastern Russia
A new meteorite find, named Khatyrka, was recovered from eastern Siberia as a result of a search for naturally occurring quasicrystals. The meteorite occurs as clastic grains within postglacial clay-rich layers along the banks of a small stream in the Koryak Mountains, Chukotka Autonomous Okrug of far eastern Russia. Some of the grains are clearly chondritic and contain Type IA porphyritic oliv...
متن کاملTesting variations within the Tagish Lake meteorite—I: Mineralogy and petrology of pristine samples
Four samples (TL5b, TL11h, TL11i, and TL11v) from the pristine collection of the Tagish Lake meteorite, an ungrouped C2 chondrite, were studied to characterize and understand its alteration history using EPMA, XRD, and TEM. We determined that samples TL11h and TL11i have a relatively smaller proportion of amorphous silicate material than sample TL5b, which experienced low-temperature hydrous pa...
