Petrography and Metallographic Cooling Rate of H-chondrite Impact Melt
Introduction: Impact melts resulting from craterproducing impacts on asteroids can be used to understand the collisional evolution of our solar system. Part of that analysis includes an assessment of the cooling rates of the impact melts and/or the locations where the melts are deposited. In this study, we examined LAP 04751 [1], which is an impact melt breccia that came from the H-chondrite pa...
متن کاملPetrography, stable isotope compositions, microRaman spectroscopy, and presolar components of Roberts Massif 04133: A reduced CV3 carbonaceous chondrite
Here, we report the mineralogy, petrography, C-N-O-stable isotope compositions, degree of disorder of organic matter, and abundances of presolar components of the chondrite Roberts Massif (RBT) 04133 using a coordinated, multitechnique approach. The results of this study are inconsistent with its initial classification as a Renazzo-like carbonaceous chondrite, and strongly support RBT 04133 bei...
متن کاملLl-chondrite Northwest Africa 6813: Sampling an Impact-cratered Asteroid
Introduction: Impact cratering is one of the dominant geologic processes affecting asteroids. It results in shock-induced melting and the formation of impactites, including impact melt breccias. Meteoritic samples of these breccias possess petrologic and geochemical signatures that can be used to deduce the collisional evolution of the respective parent body, such as the timing of the event, sh...
متن کاملGeochemistry and petrography of impact breccias and target rocks from the 145 Ma Morokweng impact structure, South Africa
Morokweng is a large, 145 Ma impact structure in the Northwest Province of South Africa. The impact origin of this structure and its melt rock has been confirmed by ample evidence of shock metamorphism in clasts within the melt rock and samples from granitoid basement below the melt body. The age of this structure is indistinguishable from the biostratigraphic age of the Jurassic-Cretaceous (J-...
متن کاملSulfide-rich metallic impact melts from chondritic parent bodies
Sacramento Wash 005 (SaW) 005, Meteorite Hills 00428 (MET) 00428, and Mount Howe 88403 (HOW) 88403 are S-rich Fe,Ni-rich metal meteorites with fine metal structures and homogeneous troilite. We compare them with the H-metal meteorite, Lewis Cliff 88432. Phase diagram analyses suggest that SaW 005, MET 00428, and HOW 88403 were liquids at temperatures above 1350 C. Tridymite in HOW 88403 constra...
