'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.

    — THE METEORITE COLLECTION IN THE U. S. NATIONAL MUSEUM; A CATALOGUE OF METEORITES REPRESENTED NOVEMBER 1, 1886, By F. W. Clarke. The following catalogue has been prepared mainly to facilitate ex- changes and to aid in the upbuilding of the collection. In addition to the usual information as to title, date of fall, and weight of specimen, it has beeu thought well to give the source from which each example was obtained ; and it may be interesting to note that the meteorites ac- credited to Dr. J. Berrien. Lindsley were mainly received by him from the late Dr. J. Lawrence Smith. In the catalogue of the Shepard col- lection, now on deposit in the Museum, the arrangement of Professor Shepard himself has been followed without change. Including the Shepard meteorites, over 200 falls are now on exhibition, giving the entire collection a very respectable place among the larger collections of the world. The Tucson iron is unique, and therefore a cut of it is inserted. METEORIC IRONS. 1. Scriba, Oswego County, N. Y. Fouud about 1834. Fragment, 9.15 grammes. By exchange from S. C. H. Bailey. 2.

Carbon in iron meteorites has been evaluated by bulk analyses (1, 2), by point counting or planimetric analysis of polished slabs (3), and by combining microanalysis with modal analysis (4). In one case, Meibom et al. (5) determined bulk C of a suite of IIIAB irons using nuclear reaction analysis. Groups not included in our compilation were omitted simply because either sulfur or carbon estimates are lacking. In contrast to sulfur, which is hosted chiefly in accessory phases, carbon in iron meteorites is hosted in FeNi alloy as well as graphite and carbide (4).

    SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE EARTH SCIENCES • NUMBER 21 Schreibersite Growth and Its Influence on the Metallography of Coarse-Structured Iron Meteorites Roy S. Clarke, Jr. and Joseph I. Goldstein SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION PRESS City of Washington 1978 ABSTRACT Clarke, Roy S., Jr., and Joseph I. Goldstein. Schreibersite Growth and Its Influence on the Metallography of Coarse-Structured Iron Meteorites. Smithson- ian Contributions to the Earth Sciences, number 21, 80 pages, 28 figures, 20 tables, 1978. —The role that schreibersite growth played in the structural development process in coarse-structured iron meteorites has been examined. The availability of many large meteorite surfaces and an extensive collection of metallographic sections made it possible to undertake a comprehensive survey of schreibersite petrography. This study was the basis for the selection of samples for detailed electron microprobe analysis. Samples containing representative structures from eight chemical Groups I and IIAB meteorites were selected. Electron microprobe traverses were made across structures representative of the observed range of schreibersite associations. Particular emphasis was placed on schreibersite-kamacite interface compositions. An analysis of these data has led to a comprehensive description of the structural development process. Massive schreibersite, one of the four major types of schreibersite encoun- tered, may be accounted for by equilibrium considerations. Subsolidus nuclea- tion and growth with slow cooling from temperatures at least as high as 850° C, and probably much higher, explain the phase relationships that one sees in meteorite specimens. The retention of taenite in the octahedrites establishes that bulk equilibrium did not extend as low as 550° C. Schreibersite undoubtedly continued in equilibrium with its enclosing kamacite to lower temperatures.

  • Minerals in Meteorites
    APPENDIX 1 Minerals in Meteorites Minerals make up the hard parts of our world and the Solar System. They are the building blocks of all rocks and all meteorites. Approximately 4,000 minerals have been identified so far, and of these, ~280 are found in meteorites. In 1802 only three minerals had been identified in meteorites. But beginning in the 1960s when only 40–50 minerals were known in meteorites, the discovery rate greatly increased due to impressive new analytic tools and techniques. In addition, an increasing number of different meteorites with new minerals were being discovered. What is a mineral? The International Mineralogical Association defines a mineral as a chemical element or chemical compound that is normally crystalline and that has been formed as a result of geological process. Earth has an enormously wide range of geologic processes that have allowed nearly all the naturally occurring chemical elements to participate in making minerals. A limited range of processes and some very unearthly processes formed the minerals of meteorites in the earliest history of our solar system. The abundance of chemical elements in the early solar system follows a general pattern: the lighter elements are most abundant, and the heavier elements are least abundant. The miner- als made from these elements follow roughly the same pattern; the most abundant minerals are composed of the lighter elements. Table A.1 shows the 18 most abundant elements in the solar system. It seems amazing that the abundant minerals of meteorites are composed of only eight or so of these elements: oxygen (O), silicon (Si), magnesium (Mg), iron (Fe), aluminum (Al), calcium (Ca), sodium (Na) and potas- sium (K).

  • Chapter 9 Earth's Interior
    Chapter 9 Earth’s Interior Learning Objectives After carefully reading this chapter, completing the exercises within it, and answering the questions at the end, you should be able to: • Explain the variations in the composition and characteristics of Earth’s different layers. • Compare the characteristics and behaviour of the two types of seismic body waves. • Summarize the variations in seismic-wave velocity as a function of rock type and temperature and pressure conditions. • Explain some of the ways that seismic data can be used to understand planetary interiors. • Describe the temperature variations within Earth and their implications for internal processes such as mantle convection. • Explain the origins of Earth’s magnetic field and the timing of magnetic field reversals. • Describe the isostatic relationship between the crust and the mantle, and the implications of that relationship for geological processes on Earth. In order to understand how Earth works, and especially the mechanisms of plate tectonics (covered in Chapter 10), we need to know something about the inside of our planet — what it’s made of, and what goes on in there. We have a variety of ways of knowing, and these will be discussed in this chapter, but the one thing we can’t do is go down and look! Fortunately there are a few places where mantle rock is exposed on Earth’s surface, and we have some samples of material from the insides of other planetary bodies, in the form of meteorites that have landed on Earth (Figure 9.0.1). We also have a great deal of seismic information that can help us understand the nature of Earth’s interior.
