Glanerbrug - an Ll4-6 Fragmental Breccia with Huge L Chondritic Clasts
نویسنده
چکیده
Introduction: The Glanerbrug ordinary chondrite fell April 7, 1990 through the roof of a house in the Netherlands [1,2]. The inhomogeneous character of the rock was recognized immediately [1] and Glanerbrug was officially classified as an LL breccia [3]. In later publications Glanerbrug was described as an L/LL5 chondrite (e.g., [4]). Based on the somewhat unclear and inconsistent classification we have studied Glanerbrug in detail again.

The Apollo 14 rocks returned to ear th a re divisible into two broad groups: relatively hoinogeneous crystalline rocks and fragmental rocks (breccias). The crystalline rocks are, for the most par t , metaclastic, but a few, including the second largest sample returned, a re aphyric basalts. All of the crystalline rocks a re considered to be clasts dislodged from fragmental rocks. These fragment...

Petrographically and chemically well-characterized rocks of the Apollo 14 landing site (12 impact melt breccias, 3 clast-free impact melt rocks, 2 granulitic rocks, 1 cataclastic noritic anorthosite, 1 shocked gabbronorite, 1 mare basalt, and 1 plagioclase single crystal) have been dated by the 40Ar-39Ar technique. The samples represent two different formations at the Apollo 14 site: (1) small ...

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-...
