  • Tubular Symplectic Inclusions in Olivine from the Fukang Pallasite

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.

  • Meteoroids, Meteorites and Meteors
    ALL ABOUT METEOROIDS, METEORS AND METEORITES 1. Meteoroids ▪ A meteoroid is a small rocky or metallic particle of debris in our solar system. ▪ They are significantly smaller than asteroids, and range in size from small grains to 1 meter-wide objects. ▪ Objects smaller than this are classified as micrometeoroids or space dust. ▪ Most are fragments from comets or asteroids, whereas others are collision impact debris ejected from bodies such as the Moon or Mars. Meteoroids travel around the Sun in a variety of orbits and at various velocities ▪ The fastest meteoroids travel through the solar system at a speed of around 42 kilometres/26 miles per second = 72,000 km / 45,000m per hr. ▪ When a meteoroid, comet, or asteroid enters Earth's atmosphere at this speed, the aerodynamic heating of that object produces a streak of light, both from the glowing object itself and from the trail of glowing particles that it leaves in its wake. ▪ An estimated 15,000 tonnes of meteoroids, micrometeoroids and different forms of space dust enter Earth's atmosphere each year. ▪ A small percentage of meteoroids fly on a path that goes into the Earth’s atmosphere and then back out again, they are known as Earth grazing fireballs. ▪ Most meteoroids come from the asteroid belt, and are affected by the gravitational pull of the planets. But some meteoroids are fragments from bodies such as Mars or our Moon, which have been thrown into space by an impact. ▪ Almost all meteoroids contain extraterrestrial nickel and iron. They have three main classifications: iron, stone, and stony-iron 2.
