  • The M~Neralogical Composition and Structure of the Assisi Meteorite

    The M~Neralogical Composition and Structure of the Assisi Meteorite

    595 The m~neralogical composition and structure of the Assisi meteorite By G. R. LEvI-DoNATI (Doctor in Natural Sciences) Istituto di Mineralogia, Facolth di Scienze, Universit~ di Perugia, Italy [Taken as read 2 November 1966] Summary. The principal data about the fall and the distribution of the fragments of the Assisi (Perugia, Italy) meteorite are collected. A fragment of the stone, weighing 146.5 g, preserved in the British Museum (Natural History) (B.M. 63621), is described in some detail. Crust morphology, mineralogical composition, and structure are studied. Optical data are established by microscopical analysis of five thin sections and two polished surfaces. Compared with electron-probe analysis, they are found in good agreement. Assisi is an olivine-bronzite chondrite, H group, with characteristic features of metamorphism. N 24 May 1886, at 7 a.m., the sky being clear, a single stone weigh- O ing 1795 g fell in a cornfield in Tordandrea, 7"5 Km south-west of Assisi (Perugia, Italy). Three peasants were present and immediately unearthed the small meteorite. It was at a depth of about 60 cm, in an apparently vertical hole about 25 cm in diameter. The stone was 13.8 cm long, 12.8 cm wide. The fall was first described by Bellucci (1887), who submitted the individual specimen to a macroscopic examination. In the same year the complete meteorite was sent by Be]lucci to Vienna, where Eger made a cast of the stone and sawed the meteorite in several pieces. 1 Museums and collections later purchased the fragments, which (1967) are now widely distributed (B.

    Laboratory Spectroscopy of Meteorite Samples at UV-Vis-NIR Wavelengths: Analysis and Discrimination by Principal Components Analysis

    Laboratory spectroscopy of meteorite samples at UV-Vis-NIR wavelengths: Analysis and discrimination by principal components analysis Antti Penttil¨aa,∗, Julia Martikainena, Maria Gritsevicha, Karri Muinonena,b aDepartment of Physics, P.O. Box 64, FI-00014 University of Helsinki, Finland bFinnish Geospatial Research Institute FGI, National Land Survey of Finland, Geodeetinrinne 2, FI-02430 Masala, Finland Abstract Meteorite samples are measured with the University of Helsinki integrating-sphere UV-Vis- NIR spectrometer. The resulting spectra of 30 meteorites are compared with selected spectra from the NASA Planetary Data System meteorite spectra database. The spectral measure- ments are transformed with the principal component analysis, and it is shown that different meteorite types can be distinguished from the transformed data. The motivation is to im- prove the link between asteroid spectral observations and meteorite spectral measurements. Keywords: Meteorites, spectroscopy, principal component analysis 1. Introduction While a planet orbits the Sun, it is subject to impacts by objects ranging from tiny dust particles to much larger asteroids and comet nuclei. Such collisions of small Solar System bodies with planets have taken place frequently over geological time and played an 5 important role in the evolution of planets and development of life on the Earth. Every day approximately 30{180 tons of interplanetary material enter the Earth's atmosphere [1, 2]. This material is mostly represented by smaller meteoroids that undergo rapid ablation in the atmosphere. Under favorable initial conditions part of a meteoroid may survive the atmospheric entry and reach the ground [3]. The fragments recovered on the ground are 10 called meteorites, our valuable samples of the Solar System.
  • Appendix A: Scientific Notation

    Appendix A: Scientific Notation

    Appendix A: Scientific Notation Since in astronomy we often have to deal with large numbers, writing a lot of zeros is not only cumbersome, but also inefficient and difficult to count. Scientists use the system of scientific notation, where the number of zeros is short handed to a superscript. For example, 10 has one zero and is written as 101 in scientific notation. Similarly, 100 is 102, 100 is 103. So we have: 103 equals a thousand, 106 equals a million, 109 is called a billion (U.S. usage), and 1012 a trillion. Now the U.S. federal government budget is in the trillions of dollars, ordinary people really cannot grasp the magnitude of the number. In the metric system, the prefix kilo- stands for 1,000, e.g., a kilogram. For a million, the prefix mega- is used, e.g. megaton (1,000,000 or 106 ton). A billion hertz (a unit of frequency) is gigahertz, although I have not heard of the use of a giga-meter. More rarely still is the use of tera (1012). For small numbers, the practice is similar. 0.1 is 10À1, 0.01 is 10À2, and 0.001 is 10À3. The prefix of milli- refers to 10À3, e.g. as in millimeter, whereas a micro- second is 10À6 ¼ 0.000001 s. It is now trendy to talk about nano-technology, which refers to solid-state device with sizes on the scale of 10À9 m, or about 10 times the size of an atom. With this kind of shorthand convenience, one can really go overboard.
  • Deep Carbon Science

    Deep Carbon Science

    From Crust to Core Carbon plays a fundamental role on Earth. It forms the chemical backbone for all essential organic molecules produced by living organ- isms. Carbon-based fuels supply most of society’s energy, and atmos- pheric carbon dioxide has a huge impact on Earth’s climate. This book provides a complete history of the emergence and development of the new interdisciplinary field of deep carbon science. It traces four cen- turies of history during which the inner workings of the dynamic Earth were discovered, and it documents the extraordinary scientific revolutions that changed our understanding of carbon on Earth for- ever: carbon’s origin in exploding stars; the discovery of the internal heat source driving the Earth’s carbon cycle; and the tectonic revolu- tion. Written with an engaging narrative style and covering the scien- tific endeavors of about 150 pioneers of deep geoscience, this is a fascinating book for students and researchers working in Earth system science and deep carbon research. is a life fellow at St. Edmund’s College, University of Cambridge.

By L. FLETCHER, M.A., F.R.S., Keeper of Minerals in the British Museum. (With a Map of the District, Plate X.) [Read March 12th and May 7th, ]889.J 1. THE immediate object of the present paper is to place on record J- the history and characters of several Atacama meteorites of which no description has yet been published; but incidentally it is con- venient at the same time to consider the relationship of these masses to others from the same region, which either have been already described, or at least are stated to be preserved in one or more of the known Meteo. rite-Collections. 2. The term " Desert of Atacama " is generally applied to that part of western South America which lies between the towns of Copiapo and Cobija, about 330 miles distant from each other, and which extends island as far as the Indian hamlet of Antofagasta, about 180 miles from 224 L.

A critical examination of the descriptive literature, and a compari- son of the manuscript and printed meteorite-lists, which have been placed at my service, lead to the conclusion that all the meteoritic frag- ments from Atacama now preserved in the known Collections belong to one or other of at most thirteen meteorites, which, for reasons given below, are referred to in this paper under the following names :-- 1.

Abstract The calcium stable isotopic compositions of mantle-sourced rocks and minerals were investigated to better understand the carbon cycle in the Earth’s mantle. Bulk carbonatites and kimberlites were analyzed to identify a geochemical signature of carbonatite magmatism, while inter-mineral fractionation was measured in co-existing Ca-bearing carbonate and silicate minerals. Bulk samples show a range of composition deviating from the bulk silicate Earth δ44/40Ca composition indicating signatures of magmatic processes or marine carbonate addition 44/40 to source materials. Δ Cacarbonate-silicate values range from -0.55‰ to +1.82‰ and positively correlate with Ca/Mg ratios in pyroxenes.
