Microscopic Magnetic Study of Ordinary Chondrite Using Magneto-optical Imaging
Fe-Ni alloys, which are kamacite (<10 wt% Ni), taenite (30 ~ 40 wt % Ni), and tetrataenite (ordered Fe 50 Ni 50), are the dominant magnetic minerals in the metamorphic (type 5-6) ordinary chondrites [1], and the carrier of the remanent magnetization is high coercivity tetrataenite [1,2,3]. Metallographic studies reported that there are two types of Fe-Ni grains in the metamor-phic ordinary chon...
متن کاملSEARCH FOR Fe IN CHONDRULES FROM ALLENDE AND TIESCHITZ
Introduction: Chondrites are early objects composed of primitive undifferentiated material. The study of their earliest and most primitive components like the refractory inclusions (CAIs) and the chondrules provide us with strong constraints on the events in the early solar system. Chondrules are millimeter-sized spheres present in abundance in most chondrites. They are thought to have formed b...
متن کاملSIDEROPHILE ELEMENT ABUNDANCES IN Fe-S-Ni-O MELTS SEGREGATED FROM PARTIALLY MOLTEN ORDINARY CHONDRITE UNDER DYNAMIC CONDITIONS. T . Rushmer,
Introduction: Early differentiation in evolving planetesimals likely involved a variety of different physical mechanisms. Fe-rich metallic liquid segregation can occur in a solid, partially molten, or purely molten silicate body, with or without the presence of deformation. Deformation may assist the segregation of low degree metallic melts. Segregation of Fe-S-Ni liquids formed by variable deg...
متن کاملIron-Nickel Sulfide Compositional Ranges in CM Chondrites: No Simple Plan
Introduction Iron-nickel sulfides are found in most or all solar system environments, and are probably the only minerals found in all extraterrestrial materials on hand. Despite this ubiquity, they have only just begun the attention they deserve. The most common Fe-Ni sulfides in chondrites are troilite (FeS), pyrrhotite (Fe 1-x S) and pentlandite (Fe,Ni) 9 S 8. Troilite is believed to have res...
متن کاملMIXTURE OF SEVERAL TYPES OF Fe,Ni METAL GRAINS IN THE ISHEYEVO METEORITE
Introduction: Isheyevo is a metal-rich carbonaceous chon-drite with metal-rich and metal-poor lithologies that are most similar to the CBb and CH chondrites, respectively [1]. All consist of similar components – Fe,Ni metal, chondrules, refractory inclusions, amoeboid olivine aggregates and heavily hydrated lithic clasts. We continued our investigation of these components of Isheyevo and found ...
