Jadeite in Chelyabinsk meteorite and the nature of an impact event on its parent body
The Chelyabinsk asteroid impact is the second largest asteroid airburst in our recorded history. To prepare for a potential threat from asteroid impacts, it is important to understand the nature and formational history of Near-Earth Objects (NEOs) like Chelyabinsk asteroid. In orbital evolution of an asteroid, collision with other asteroids is a key process. Here, we show the existence of a hig...
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...
متن کاملMicro and Nanoscale Studies of Shock Features within the Chelyabinsk LL5 Meteorite
Shock effects within meteorites are the products of impacts and collisions in the asteroid belt that eventually led to the ejection of the meteorite from its parent body. These collisions produce shock waves, which in turn lead to formation of high-pressure phases and deformation features within the host meteorite. The (P,T,t) history of the shock process can be deduced by studying these high-p...
متن کاملOrigin and evolution of prebiotic organic matter as inferred from the Tagish Lake meteorite.
The complex suite of organic materials in carbonaceous chondrite meteorites probably originally formed in the interstellar medium and/or the solar protoplanetary disk, but was subsequently modified in the meteorites' asteroidal parent bodies. The mechanisms of formation and modification are still very poorly understood. We carried out a systematic study of variations in the mineralogy, petrolog...
متن کاملPetrology and geochemistry of whole rock of Shahdad meteorites
In this study, meteorite pieces, with total weight of 259 grams, have been studied which is not listed in the world bulletin of meteorites. In order to classify these samples, after preparing microscopic thin sections and performing accurate petrography, using geochemical data of the major elements and trace elements of whole rock, obtained from XRF and ICPMS methods in Zarazma company’s labora...
