  • Tubular Symplectic Inclusions in Olivine from the Fukang Pallasite
    Meteoritics & Planetary Science 45, Nr 5, 899–910 (2010) doi: 10.1111/j.1945-5100.2010.01054.x Tubular symplectic inclusions in olivine from the Fukang pallasite Michael R. STEVENS1, David R.

BUSECK1,2* 1School of Earth and Space Exploration, Arizona State University, Tempe, Arizona 85287, USA 2Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Arizona State University, Tempe, Arizona 85287, USA *Corresponding author. E-mail: [email protected] (Received 11 June 2009; revision accepted 27 March 2010) Abstract–Olivine from the Fukang meteorite, like that from many other pallasites, contains distinctive arrays of parallel, straight, tubular inclusions. They differ in their extension and linearity from those in terrestrial olivines. They comprise approximately 1% of the total volume. Most have lens-shaped cross-sections, but some are rounded. The major axis of the lens-shaped inclusions is rigorously oriented along olivine [001], and the rounded ones lie along olivine [010] and a few along [100]. The linear nature and orientations of the inclusions suggest that they nucleated on screw dislocations, perhaps formed through shock triggering. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy show that the inclusions consist of symplectic intergrowths of chromite, diopside, and silica that appear to have formed by exsolution from the host olivine. The symplectites consist of chromite lamellae with approximately 35-nm spacings that grew outward from a central plane, with interstitial diopside and silica. Contrast modulations having an average spacing of 4.4 nm occur within the chromite lamellae. Using a reaction- front model, we estimate that exsolution occurred over a period of 30 to 100 min, suggesting rapid cooling at high temperature.

    Article VIII.-CATALOGUE OF METEORITES IN THE COLLECTION OF THE AMERICAN MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY, TO JULY i, I896. By E. 0. HOVEY. 'T'he Collection of Meteorites in the Arnerican Museum of Natural History consists of fifty-five slabs, fragments and com- plete individuals, representing twenty-six falls and finds. The foundation of the mineralogical department of the Museum was laid in I874 by the purchase of the collection of S. C. H. Bailey, in which there were a few meteorites. More were acquired with the portion of the Norman Spang Collection of Minerals which was purchased in I89I, and other meteorites have been bought by the Museum from time to time, or have been presented to it by friends. The soujrce from which each specimen came has been indicated in the following cataloguLe.

  • Linking the Chassigny Meteorite and the Martian Surface Rock Backstay: Insights Into Igneous Crustal Differentiation Processes on Mars
    Meteoritics & Planetary Science 44, Nr 6, 853–869 (2009) Abstract available online at http://meteoritics.org Linking the Chassigny meteorite and the Martian surface rock Backstay: Insights into igneous crustal differentiation processes on Mars Hanna NEKVASIL*, Francis M. MCCUBBIN, Andrea HARRINGTON, Stephen ELARDO, and Donald H. LINDSLEY Department of Geosciences, Stony Brook University, Stony Brook, New York 11794–2100, USA *Corresponding author. E-mail: [email protected] (Received 05 August 2008; revision accepted 18 March 2009) Abstract–In order to use igneous surface lithologies to constrain Martian mantle characteristics, secondary processes that lead to compositional modification of primary mantle melts must be considered. Crystal fractionation of a mantle-derived magma at the base of the crust followed by separation and ascent of residual liquids to the surface is common in continental hotspot regions on Earth. The possibility that this process also takes place on Mars was investigated by experimentally determining whether a surface rock, specifically the hawaiite Backstay analyzed by the MER Spirit could produce a known cumulate lithology with a deep origin (namely the assemblages of the Chassigny meteorite) if trapped at the base of the Martian crust. Both the major cumulus and melt inclusion mineral assemblages of the Chassigny meteorite were produced experimentally by a liquid of Backstay composition within the pressure range 9.3 to 6.8 kbar with bulk water contents between 1.5 and 2.6 wt%. Experiments at 4.3 and 2.8 kbar did not produce the requisite assemblages. This agreement suggests that just as on Earth, Martian mantle-derived melts may rise to the surface or remain trapped at the base of the crust, fractionate, and lose their residual liquids.

The aim of this paper is to investigate the surface composition of the two asteroids 21 Lutetia and 2867 Steins, targets of the Rosetta space mission. Methods. We observed the two asteroids through their full rotational periods with the Infrared Spectrograph of the Spitzer Space Telescope to investigate the surface properties. The analysis of their thermal emission spectra was carried out to detect emissivity features that diagnose the surface composition. Results. For both asteroids, the Christiansen peak, the Reststrahlen, and the Transparency features were detected. The thermal emissiv- ity shows a clear analogy to carbonaceous chondrite meteorites, in particular to the CO–CV types for 21 Lutetia, while for 2867 Steins, already suggested as belonging to the E-type asteroids, the similarity to the enstatite achondrite meteorite is confirmed.

Bindon2 1Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, 2 Department of Anthropology, Western Australian Museum, Francis Street, Perth, Western Australia 6000 Abstract - Numerous mythological references to meteoritic events by Aboriginal people in Australia contrast with the scant physical evidence of their interaction with meteoritic materials. Possible reasons for this are the unsuitability of some meteorites for tool making and the apparent inability of early Aborigines to work metallic materials. However, there is a strong possibility that Aborigines witnessed one or more of the several recent « 5000 yrs BP) meteorite impact events in Australia. Evidence for Aboriginal use of meteorites and the recognition of meteoritic events is critically evaluated. INTRODUCTION Australia, although for climatic and physiographic The ceremonial and practical significance of reasons they are rarely found in tropical Australia. Australian tektites (australites) in Aboriginal life is The history of the recovery of meteorites in extensively documented (Baker 1957 and Australia has been reviewed by Bevan (1992). references therein; Edwards 1966). However, Within the continent there are two significant areas despite abundant evidence throughout the world for the recovery of meteorites: the Nullarbor that many other ancient civilizations recognised, Region, and the area around the Menindee Lakes utilized and even revered meteorites (particularly of western New South Wales. These accumulations meteoritic iron) (e.g., see Buchwald 1975 and have resulted from prolonged aridity that has references therein), there is very little physical or allowed the preservation of meteorites for documentary evidence of Aboriginal acknowledge­ thousands of years after their fall, and the large ment or use of meteoritic materials.

The synthetic analogue of stanfieldite is used as a crystal matrix of luminophores and frequently encountered in phosphate bioceramics. However, the crystal structure of natural stanfieldite has never been reported in detail, and the data available so far relate to its synthetic counterpart. We herein provide the results of a study of stanfieldite from the Brahin meteorite (main group pallasite). The empirical formula of the mineral is Ca8.04Mg9.25Fe0.72Mn0.07P11.97O48. Its crystal structure has been solved and refined to R1 = 0.034. Stanfieldite from Brahin is monoclinic, C2/c, a 22.7973(4), b 9.9833(2), c 17.0522(3) Å, β 99.954(2)◦, 3 V 3822.5(1)Å .
