    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. This publication is made to assist. the large number of persons who have become interested in knowing the extent to which the material of various falls and finds has been distributed among collections and the present location of specimens.

Mineralogischen Museums in Dresden. Yon Dr. R. Schreiter. Die Meteoritensammlung des Kgl. Mineralogischen Museums in Dresden hat besonders im Laufe der letzten Jahre wertvollen Zuwachs erfahren, so dafs es geboten erscheint, über ihren derzeitigen Stand einen Bericht zu veröffentlichen, in dem zugleich eine gedrängte Übersicht über ihre Entwicklung gegeben werden soll. Nach Ausweis des von H. Gössel aufgestellten alten Katalogs vom Jahre 1846 waren, abgesehen von zweifel- haften Meteoriten, wie Collina di Brianza, San Sacramento Lake u. a. bis dahin Stücke von nur fünf Fall- bzw. Fundorten vorhanden. Drei Stück des berühmten Pallaseisens Krasnojarsk und zwei Magura bildeten den einzigen Bestand an Meteoreisen, während die Meteorsteine mit L’Aigle, Lasdany und Stannern vertreten waren. Bis Ende 1875 führt der General- katalog des Kgl. Mineralogischen Museums Meteorsteine von acht verschie- denen Fallorten an (Bishopville, Hessle, Kernouve, Knyahinya, L’Aigle, Lasdany, Pultusk und Stannern) und Meteoreisen bereits von 14 Fundorten (Bitburg, Bohumilitz, Braunau, Elbogen, Imilac, Krasnojarsk, Madoc, Magura, Nenntmansdorf, Putnam County, Seeläsgen, Steinbach, Toluca, Zacatecas); In der im Jahre 1882 in den Sitzungsberichten der Isis von A.

  • Disequilibrium Melting and Melt Migration Driven by Impacts: Implications for Rapid Planetesimal Core Formation
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta 100 (2013) 41–59 www.elsevier.com/locate/gca Disequilibrium melting and melt migration driven by impacts: Implications for rapid planetesimal core formation Andrew G. Tomkins ⇑, Roberto F. Weinberg, Bruce F. Schaefer 1, Andrew Langendam School of Geosciences, P.O. Box 28E, Monash University, Melbourne, Victoria 3800, Australia Received 20 January 2012; accepted in revised form 24 September 2012; available online 12 October 2012 Abstract The e182W ages of magmatic iron meteorites are largely within error of the oldest solar system particles, apparently requir- ing a mechanism for segregation of metals to the cores of planetesimals within 1.5 million years of initial condensation. Cur- rently favoured models involve equilibrium melting and gravitational segregation in a static, quiescent environment, which requires very high early heat production in small bodies via decay of short-lived radionuclides. However, the rapid accretion needed to do this implies a violent early accretionary history, raising the question of whether attainment of equilibrium is a valid assumption. Since our use of the Hf–W isotopic system is predicated on achievement of chemical equilibrium during core formation, our understanding of the timing of this key early solar system process is dependent on our knowledge of the seg- regation mechanism. Here, we investigate impact-related textures and microstructures in chondritic meteorites, and show that impact-generated deformation promoted separation of liquid FeNi into enlarged sulfide-depleted accumulations, and that this happened under conditions of thermochemical disequilibrium. These observations imply that similar enlarged metal accumu- lations developed as the earliest planetesimals grew by rapid collisional accretion.

Received 21 June 2014 While a crater was not formed, evidence was left behind at the impact site to prove the impact origin. Received in revised form 10 October 2014 Previous studies suggest that a large tsunami formed, and sedimentary successions along the coast of Accepted 19 October 2014 South America have been attributed to the Eltanin impact tsunami. They are characterized by large clasts, Available online xxxx often several meters in diameter. Our state-of-the-art numerical modeling of the impact process and its Editor: J. Lynch-Stieglitz coupling with non-linear wave simulations allows for quantifying the initial wave characteristic and the Keywords: propagation of tsunami-like waves over large distances. We find that the tsunami attenuates quickly with −1.2 Eltanin impact η(r) ∝ r resulting in maximum wave heights similar to those observed during the 2004 Sumatra tsunamis and 2011 Tohoku-oki tsunamis.

  • Constraints on the Water, Chlorine, and Fluorine Content of the Martian Mantle

E-mail: fi[email protected] (Received 30 July 2015; revision accepted 22 January 2016) Abstract–Previous estimates of the volatile contents of Martian basalts, and hence their source regions, ranged from nearly volatile-free through estimates similar to those found in terrestrial subduction zones. Here, we use the bulk chemistry of Martian meteorites, along with Martian apatite and amphibole chemistry, to constrain the volatile contents of the Martian interior. Our estimates show that the volatile content of the source region for the Martian meteorites is similar to the terrestrial Mid-Ocean-Ridge Mantle source. Chlorine is enriched compared with the depleted terrestrial mantle but is similar to the terrestrial enriched source region; fluorine is similar to the terrestrial primitive mantle; and water is consistent with the terrestrial mantle. Our results show that Martian magmas were not volatile saturated; had water/chlorine and water/fluorine ratios ~0.4–18; and are most similar, in terms of volatiles, to terrestrial MORBs. Presumably, there are variations in volatile content in the Martian interior as suggested by apatite compositions, but more bulk chemical data, especially for fluorine and water, are required to investigate these variations.
