  • Meteorites in Ancient Times
    Meteorites in Ancient Times Meteor Omens Meteorites have played many key roles throughout history and across many cultures. The observation of a meteor, or shooting star, was considered a celestial omen, switching between being a bad or good sign depending on the time and place. When Shakespeare wrote ‘The Life and Death of Richard II’ he uses a meteor to foreshadow the “death [or fall] of kings”, as the sight of a meteor was a bad omen at this time. A 147kg meteorite that fell in a wheat field outside Ensisheim (France) in 1492 was chained to the wall in a local church after the Emperor, Maximillian the First, claimed it was an ‘omen of divine protection against invasion’. Historic records of meteors are often seen in artwork and literature from the time.

Having ‘fallen from the heavens’ they often became the source of cultish worship. One meteorite holds the place of honour at Apollo’s Temple at Delphi, where the ancient Greeks believed Cronos (the god Saturn being the Roman variant) threw the rock from above after his dethronement by his son Zeus.

  • Cape York: the Extraordinary Mineralogy of an Ordinary Iron Meteorite and Its Implication for the Genesis of III AB Irons
    Geochemical Journal, Vol. 11, pp. 207 to 217, 1977 207 Cape York: The extraordinary mineralogy of an ordinary iron meteorite and its implication for the genesis of III AB irons A. KRACHER,1 G. KURATI and V. F. BUCHWALD2 Division of Mineralogy and Petrology, Natural History Museum, A-1014 Vienna, Austria' and Department of Metallurgy, Technical University of Denmark, DK-2800 Lyngby, Denmark2 (Received July 1, 1977) A study of accessory minerals in the Cape York iron meteorite has been carried out with the electron microprobe. Phases analyzed include chromite, sphalerite, two closely related potassium-bearing sulfides, silica, and native copper. In addition, four phosphate minerals were found: One chemically similar to buchwaldite, but rather rich in iron, one corresponding to terrestrial maricite, and two more, which seem to be new minerals on the basis of microprobe analysis. Evidence from the composition of accessory minerals as well as texture elucidates some details of the fractional crystallization of the group III AB parent melt. A modification of the fractional crystallization model is therefore proposed. We suggest that sulfide nodules have originated as droplets of an immiscible sulfur-rich liquid that continuously segregated from the parent melt during crystallization of the metal. The modified model also explains the Ni/Cr anticorrelation and the high abundance of sulfur in group III AB irons which could not be satisfactorily explained by previous models.

  • Robert E. Peary and the Cape York Meteorites 1
    ROBERT E. PEARY AND THE CAPE YORK METEORITES 1 Patricia A. M. Huntington Researcher, New York, New York Abstract: This paper recounts the saga of three meteorites that fell in the Cape York area of northern Greenland 1,000 to 10,000 years ago in a large meteorite shower. At some point in time, a group of Inuit settled about 35 miles away and used the iron in the meteorites to fashion tools. A little over 100 years ago, Robert E. Peary transported the meteorites to New York City. Josephine Peary, his wife, sold the meteorites in 1909 to the American Museum of Natural History, where they remain to this day. BACKGROUND Meteors are small solid bodies that enter a planet’s atmosphere from outer space. Most meteors burn and turn to dust on their descent through the atmosphere but, occasionally, a meteor may reach the surface of the Earth or of another planet before it is entirely consumed. Such meteors are known as meteorites and are categorized as either “falls” if it was seen as it brightly descended to Earth, or “find” if it was simply found without its descent being noticed. Meteorites found on Earth can be classified into three types, according to their composition: stones are meteorites consisting of silicates, irons consist primarily of iron with 5%–10% nickel and traces of other ele- ments, and stony irons contain varying proportions of stone and iron. The iron mete- orites are extremely dense and weigh about eight times more than the same volume of water, compared with an ordinary rock, which has a density about three times that of water.

  • Mineralogy of Silicate-Natrophosphate Immiscible † Inclusion in Elga IIE Iron Meteorite
    minerals Article Mineralogy of Silicate-Natrophosphate Immiscible y Inclusion in Elga IIE Iron Meteorite Victor V. Sharygin 1,2 1 V.S. Sobolev Institute of Geology and Mineralogy, Siberian Branch of the RAS, 3 Acad. Koptyuga pr., 630090 Novosibirsk, Russia; [email protected] 2 ExtraTerra Consortium, Institute of Physics and Technology, Ural Federal University, 19 Mira str., 620002 Ekaterinburg, Russia The paper was presented at the 81st Annual Meeting of the Meteoritical Society in Moscow, Russia, y 22–27 July 2018. Received: 7 April 2020; Accepted: 11 May 2020; Published: 13 May 2020 Abstract: Rare type of silicate inclusions found in the Elga iron meteorite (group IIE) has a very specific mineral composition and shows silicate ( 90%)–natrophosphate ( 10%) liquid ≈ ≈ immiscibility due to meniscus-like isolation of Na-Ca-Mg-Fe phosphates. The 3 mm wide immiscible inclusion has been first studied in detail using optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, electron microprobe analysis and Raman spectroscopy. The silicate part of the inclusion contains fine-grained quartz-feldspar aggregate and mafic minerals. The relationships of feldspars indicate solid decay of initially homogenous K-Na-feldspar into albite and K-feldspar with decreasing of temperature. Some mafic minerals in the silicate part are exotic in composition: the dominant phase is an obertiite-subgroup oxyamphibole (amphibole supergroup), varying from ferri-obertiite 3+ 2+ NaNa2Mg3Fe Ti[Si8O22]O2 to hypothetical NaNa2Mg3Fe 0.5Ti1.5[Si8O22]O2; minor phases are the aenigmatite-subgroup mineral (sapphirine supergroup) with composition close to median value 2+ of the Na2Fe 5TiSi6O18O2-Na2Mg5TiSi6O18O2 join, orthopyroxene (enstatite), clinopyroxene of the diopside Ca(Mg,Fe)Si2O6–kosmochlor NaCrSi2O6-Na(Mg,Fe)0.5Ti0.5Si2O6 series and chromite.

Beauty of color or lustre in a stone or some quaint form attracts the eye of the savage, and his choice of material for ornament or adornment is also conditioned by the tough- ness of some stones as compared with the facility with which others can be chipped or polished. Whereas a gem might be prized for its beauty by a single individual owner, a stone of curious and suggestive form sometimes claimed the reverence of an entire tribe, since it was thought to be the abode or the chosen instrument of some spirit or genius. Just as the appeal to higher powers for present help in pressing emergencies preceded the development of a formal religious faith, so this never-failing need of protectors or healers eventually led to the attribution of powers of protec- tion to the spirits of men and women who had led holy lives and about whose history legend had woven a web of pious imaginations at a time when poetic fancy reigned instead of historic record.
