    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF THURMAN DALE COOPER for theMASTER OF SCIENCE (Name) (Degree) in CHEMISTRY presented on June 1, 1973 (Major) (Date) Title: ELEMENTAL ABUNDANCES IN THE SILICATE PHASE OF PALLASITIC METEORITES Redacted for privacy Abstract approved: Roman A. Schmitt The silicate phases of 11 pallasites were analyzed instrumen- tally to determine the concentrations of some major, minor, and trace elements.The silicate phases were found to contain about 98% olivine with 1 to 2% accessory minerals such as lawrencite, schreibersite, troilite, chromite, and farringtonite present.The trace element concentrations, except Sc and Mn, were found to be extremely low and were found primarily in the accessory phases rather than in the pure olivine.An unusual bimodal Mn distribution was noted in the pallasites, and Eagle Station had a chondritic nor- malized REE pattern enrichedin the heavy REE. The silicate phases of pallasites and mesosiderites were shown to be sufficiently diverse in origin such that separate classifications are entirely justified.

    n ARieuican%Mllsellm PUBLISHED BY THE AMERICAN MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY CENTRAL PARK WEST AT 79TH STREET, NEW YORK 24, N.Y. NUMBER 2I63 DECEMBER I9, I963 The Pallasites BY BRIAN MASON' INTRODUCTION The pallasites are a comparatively rare type of meteorite, but are remarkable in several respects. Historically, it was a pallasite for which an extraterrestrial origin was first postulated because of its unique compositional and structural features. The Krasnoyarsk pallasite was discovered in 1749 about 150 miles south of Krasnoyarsk, and seen by P. S. Pallas in 1772, who recognized these unique features and arranged for its removal to the Academy of Sciences in St. Petersburg. Chladni (1794) examined it and concluded it must have come from beyond the earth, at a time when the scientific community did not accept the reality of stones falling from the sky. Compositionally, the combination of olivine and nickel-iron in subequal amounts clearly distinguishes the pallasites from all other groups of meteorites, and the remarkable juxtaposition of a comparatively light silicate mineral and heavy metal poses a nice problem of origin. Several theories of the internal structure of the earth have postulated the presence of a pallasitic layer to account for the geophysical data. No apology is therefore required for an attempt to provide a comprehensive account of this remarkable group of meteorites. Some 40 pallasites are known, of which only two, Marjalahti and Zaisho, were seen to fall (table 1). Of these, some may be portions of a single meteorite. It has been suggested that the pallasite found in Indian mounds at Anderson, Ohio, may be fragments of the Brenham meteorite, I Chairman, Department of Mineralogy, the American Museum of Natural History.

  • 3D Laser Imaging and Modeling of Iron Meteorites and Tektites
    3D laser imaging and modeling of iron meteorites and tektites by Christopher A. Fry A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Earth Science Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario ©2013, Christopher Fry ii Abstract 3D laser imaging is a non-destructive method devised to calculate bulk density by creating volumetrically accurate computer models of hand samples. The focus of this research was to streamline the imaging process and to mitigate any potential errors. 3D laser imaging captured with great detail (30 voxel/mm2) surficial features of the samples, such as regmaglypts, pits and cut faces. Densities from 41 iron meteorites and 9 splash-form Australasian tektites are reported here. The laser-derived densities of iron meteorites range from 6.98 to 7.93 g/cm3. Several suites of meteorites were studied and are somewhat heterogeneous based on an average 2.7% variation in inter-fragment density. Density decreases with terrestrial age due to weathering. The tektites have an average laser-derived density of 2.41+0.11g/cm3. For comparison purposes, the Archimedean bead method was also used to determine density. This method was more effective for tektites than for iron meteorites. iii Acknowledgements A M.Sc. thesis is a large undertaking that cannot be completed alone. There are several individuals who contributed significantly to this project. I thank Dr. Claire Samson, my supervisor, without whom this thesis would not have been possible. Her guidance and encouragement is largely the reason that this project was completed.

  • The Formation of the Widmanstätten Structure in Meteorites
    Meteoritics & Planetary Science 40, Nr 2, 239–253 (2005) Abstract available online at http://meteoritics.org The formation of the Widmanstätten structure in meteorites J. YANG* and J. I. GOLDSTEIN Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, College of Engineering, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, Massachusetts 01003, USA *Corresponding author. E-mail: [email protected] (Received 16 October 2003; revision accepted 13 November 2004) Abstract–We have evaluated various mechanisms proposed for the formation of the Widmanstätten pattern in iron meteorites and propose a new mechanism for low P meteoritic metal. These mechanisms can also be used to explain how the metallic microstructures developed in chondrites and stony-iron meteorites. The Widmanstätten pattern in high P iron meteorites forms when meteorites enter the three- phase field α + γ + Ph via cooling from the γ + Ph field. The Widmanstätten pattern in low P iron meteorites forms either at a temperature below the (α + γ)/(α + γ + Ph) boundary or by the decomposition of martensite below the martensite start temperature. The reaction γ → α + γ, which is normally assumed to control the formation of the Widmanstätten pattern, is not applicable to the metal in meteorites. The formation of the Widmanstätten pattern in the vast majority of low P iron meteorites (which belong to chemical groups IAB–IIICD, IIIAB, and IVA) is controlled by mechanisms involving the formation of martensite α2. We propose that the Widmanstätten structure in these meteorites forms by the reaction γ → α2 + γ → α + γ, in which α2 decomposes to the equilibrium α and γ phases during the cooling process.

E-mail: [email protected] (Received 18 July 2003; revision accepted 26 July 2004) Abstract–We describe an analytical technique for measurements of Fe, Ni, Co, Mo, Ru, Rh, W, Re, Os, Ir, Pt, and Au in bulk samples of iron meteorites. The technique involves EPMA (Fe, Ni, Co) and LA-ICP-MS analyses of individual phases of iron meteorites, followed by calculation of bulk compositions based on the abundances of these phases. We report, for the first time, a consistent set of concentrations of Mo, Ru, Rh, Pd, W, Re, Os, Ir, Pt, and Au in the iron meteorites Arispe, Bennett County, Grant, Cape of Good Hope, Cape York, Carbo, Chinga, Coahuila, Duchesne, Gibeon, Henbury, Mundrabilla, Negrillos, Odessa, Sikhote-Alin, and Toluca and the Divnoe primitive achondrite. The comparison of our LA-ICP-MS data for a number of iron meteorites with high-precision isotope dilution and INAA data demonstrates the good precision and accuracy of our technique. The narrow ranges of variations of Mo and Pd concentrations within individual groups of iron meteorites suggest that these elements can provide important insights into the evolution of parent bodies of iron meteorites.

  • Plessite Textures in the Toluca (Group IA) Iron Meteorite Revealed by the Selective Attack of Chlorine
    MINERALOGICAL MAGAZINE, SEPTEMBER 1983, VOL. 47, PP. 413-15 Plessite textures in the Toluca (Group IA) iron meteorite revealed by the selective attack of chlorine THE use of the selective attack by dry chlorine at varieties of plessite (e.g. acicular, spheroidal, and 350~ on iron meteorites to expose high-nickel comb) in some iron meteorites. In this work 'comb' structures, e.g. schreibersite (rhabdite), has been plessite in the Toluca (Group IA) iron meteorite has described by Easton and Buckley (1979). Chlorine been examined using the selective attack by dry gas has the significant advantage over other con- chlorine technique. ventional etchants (e.g. nital solution) of greater Experimental. The polished surface of a small differential penetration of the polished specimen fragment (16 x 7.5 x 1 mm) of Toluca (BM 33747) surface. The volatilization of ferric chloride from was etched with 10% nital solution (10 ml the low-nickel iron phases and the removal of the HNO3 + 90 ml ethyl alcohol) for 15 mins, dried, and residual non-volatile chlorides by solution means photographed. The specimen was then exposed to that this technique can be used to expose residual attack by chlorine for about 30 mins at 350 ~ high-nickel metal in plessite, an intimate inter- using the method for schreibersite (Easton and growth of low- and high-nickel phases.
