Unique Spinel-rich Lithology in Lunar Meteorite Alha81005: Origin and Possible Connection to M Observations of the Farside Highlands
Introduction: The discovery of spinel rich rock on the Earth’s Moon, detected by the M near-IR mapping spectrometer on the Chandrayaan-1 spacecraft [1] is among the most intriguing discoveries in a time filled with lunar revelations (e.g., [2]). The M spectrometer discerned several areas on the rim of the far-side Moscoviense basin which had near-IR reflectance spectra characteristic of abundan...
متن کاملCoesite and stishovite in a shocked lunar meteorite, Asuka-881757, and impact events in lunar surface.
Microcrystals of coesite and stishovite were discovered as inclusions in amorphous silica grains in shocked melt pockets of a lunar meteorite Asuka-881757 by micro-Raman spectrometry, scanning electron microscopy, electron back-scatter diffraction, and transmission electron microscopy. These high-pressure polymorphs of SiO(2) in amorphous silica indicate that the meteorite experienced an equili...
متن کاملSupport for the lunar cataclysm hypothesis from lunar meteorite impact melt ages.
Lunar meteorites represent a more random sampling of lunar material than the Apollo or Luna collections and, as such, lunar meteorite impact melt ages are the most important data in nearly 30 years with which to reexamine the lunar cataclysm hypothesis. Within the lunar meteorite breccias MAC 88105, QUE 93069, DaG 262, and DaG 400, seven to nine different impact events are represented with 40Ar...
متن کاملLunar Meteorites: What They Tell Us about the Spatial and Temporal Distribution of Mare Basalts
1. Introduction: Here we analyze the chronology and statistical distribution of lunar meteorites with emphasis on the spatial and temporal distribution of lunar mare basalts. The data are mostly from the Lunar Meteorite Compendium (http://www-curator.jsc.nasa.gov/ ant-met/lmc/contents.cfm cited hereafter as Compendium) compiled by Kevin Righter, NASA Johnson Space Center , and from the associat...
متن کاملTrace Element Chemistry of Lunar Highland Meteorites from Oman
Introduction: During the last few years, numerous lunar meteorites have been discovered in the Dhofar region of Oman. All of them are lunar highland brec-cias, except for Dhofar 287A, which is a mare basalt. In this paper, we present the first trace-element chemistry of these new lunar highland meteorites: Dhofar 280, 301-310. Mineralogy and petrology of these meteorites have been reported in [...
