  • Meteorite Shower in Park Forest, Illinois
    PSRD:: Meteorite Shower in Park Forest, Illinois http://www.psrd.hawaii.edu/Aug04/ParkForest.html posted August 26, 2004 Meteorite Shower in Park Forest, Illinois --- An L5 chondrite strewnfield is centered at Park Forest, Illinois, a southern suburb of Chicago. Written by Linda M. V. Martel Hawai'i Institute of Geophysics and Planetology Steven Simon (University of Chicago) and seven colleagues from the University of Chicago, the Planetary Studies Foundation, Harper College, Pacific Northwest National Lab, and the Field Museum in Chicago have classified the meteorite fragments that fell on Chicago's southern suburbs on the night of March 26, 2003. Described as ".. the most densely populated region to be hit by a meteorite shower in modern times," the village of Park Forest is at the center of the strewnfield and fortuitously also happens to be home to the Simon family, who answered scores of phone calls from neighboring meteorite finders. No injuries were reported though plenty of roofs, windows, walls, and cars were hit, and the police department took individual fusion-crusted fragments into custody as evidence (see picture above). Its chemical and mineralogical compositions establish the Park Forest meteorite as an L5 chondrite, one of the most primitive groups of known meteorites. It is a strongly shocked monomict breccia (a term applied to a breccia made of one kind of rock) with light-colored clasts in a very dark matrix. The team measured cosmic radionuclides in Park Forest and found nearly zero 56Co and high 60Co, values that indicate a large preatmospheric mass. They estimate the meteoroid was at least 900 kilograms and possibly as large as 7000 kilograms before it broke apart in the atmosphere, of which only about 30 kilograms of fragments have been recovered.

  • 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).
