76th Annual Meteoritical Society Meeting (2013) 5039.pdf The Chelyabinsk meteorite hits an anomalous zone in the Urals; Kochemasov G. G.; IGEM of the Russian Academy of Sciences, 35 Staromonetny, 119017 Moscow, [email protected] The Chelybinsk meteorite hit at a special zone of the Middle Urals (approximately between 55 and 62 degrees of the North latitude) known as anomalous because there electrophonic bolides are often observed. It is geologically marked by an intersection under a sharp angle of two Pz fold systems: Uralian meridional and the Timan fold belt of the NW strike. This intersection comprises an unusual bending and widening of the Urals with the Ekatherinburg city roughly in the center of this formation and the Chelyabinsk region in the south. Very famous Dyatlov pass with mysterious death of 9 students in 1959 occurs at the north of the intersection. This intersection is also known by small placer deposits of unusual Uralian diamonds though the Urals does not belong to the Archean cratons. The long Ural Mountains are a tectonic boundary between the somewhat risen East-European platform and the relatively fallen West-Siberian young platform. The Chelyabinsk bolide as well as the Kunashak meteorite in 1949 hit ground in this tectonically peculiar place in the Ural Mountains. The main explosion was followed by a series of weaker bangs. The distribution of electrophonic bolides over the former USSR was studied in [1, 2]. The total of 343 observations are distributed at relevant districts; accompanied meteorites were found only in 23-24 cases. Two areas are obviously anomalous. These of the Urals and the Eurasia-Asia contact of the uplifted Asia and subsided Eurasia (Novosibirsk – Yenisei R. – Tunguska R. region). A location of the anomalous region in the long Uralian belt is determined by its intersection with the Timan fold belt. The catastrophic Dyatlov pass where nine people mysteriously died at once occurs there. Mancy aborigines know this place as deadly where killing white shining spheres appear. Moreover, this belt intersection is well known among hunters for UFO as the “Permian triangle”. They meet there to observe unusual atmospheric shining, light balls and other anomalous phenomena. In conclusion, these two tectonically distinctive regions are famous by anomalously often appearance of bolides part of which is accompanied by meteorite falls. Out of 343 observations less than 10 % were accompanied by meteorites. Unclear remains a strange attraction of bolides by very pronounced tectonic features. This strange attraction of randomly falling stones requires an explanation. References: [1] Bronshten V.A., Grebennikov V.S., Rabunsky D.D.

Meteorites and Impacts: Research, Cataloguing and Geoethics
Seminario_10_2013_d 10/6/13 17:12 Página 75 Meteorites and impacts: research, cataloguing and geoethics / Jesús Martínez-Frías Centro de Astrobiología, CSIC-INTA, asociado al NASA Astrobiology Institute, Ctra de Ajalvir, km. 4, 28850 Torrejón de Ardoz, Madrid, Spain Abstract Meteorites are basically fragments from asteroids, moons and planets which travel trough space and crash on earth surface or other planetary body. Meteorites and their impact events are two topics of research which are scientifically linked. Spain does not have a strong scientific tradition of the study of meteorites, unlike many other European countries. This contribution provides a synthetic overview about three crucial aspects related to this subject: research, cataloging and geoethics. At present, there are more than 20,000 meteorite falls, many of them collected after 1969. The Meteoritical Bulletin comprises 39 meteoritic records for Spain. The necessity of con- sidering appropriate protocols, scientific integrity issues and a code of good practice regarding the study of the abiotic world, also including meteorites, is emphasized. Resumen Los meteoritos son, básicamente, fragmentos procedentes de los asteroides, la Luna y Marte que chocan contra la superficie de la Tierra o de otro cuerpo planetario. Su estudio está ligado científicamente a la investigación de sus eventos de impacto. España no cuenta con una fuerte tradición científica sobre estos temas, al menos con el mismo nivel de desarrollo que otros paí- ses europeos. En esta contribución se realiza una revisión sintética de tres aspectos cruciales relacionados con los meteoritos: su investigación, catalogación y geoética. Hasta el momento se han reconocido más de 20.000 caídas meteoríticas, muchas de ellos desde 1969.

The fireball was instrumentally observed by the Finnish Fireball Network. From these observations the strewnfield was computed and two first meteorites were found only a few hundred meters from the predicted landing site on May 29th and May 30th 2014, so that the meteorite (an H4-5 chondrite) experienced only minimal terrestrial alteration.

The Chesapeake Bay Bolide Impact: a New View of Coastal Plain Evolution
science for a changing world The Chesapeake Bay Bolide Impact: A New View of Coastal Plain Evolution Bolide Impact West East A spectacular geological event took place on the Atlantic margin of North America about 35 million years ago in the late part of the Eocene Epoch. Sea level was unusually high everywhere on Earth, and the ancient shoreline of the Virginia region was somewhere in the vicinity of where Richmond is today (fig. 1). Tropical rain forests covered the slopes of the Appalachians. To the east of a narrow coastal plain, a broad, lime (calcium car- bonate)-covered continental shelf lay beneath the ocean.

Pre-Fall Orbit of the Buzzard Coulee Meteoroid
Pre-fall Orbit of the Buzzard Coulee Meteoroid E. P. Milley University of Calgary, Calgary, Alberta [email protected] and A. R. Hildebrand University of Calgary, Calgary, Alberta and P. G. Brown The University of Western Ontario, London, Ontario and M. Noble Royal Astronomical Society of Canada, Edmonton, Alberta and G. Sarty University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan and A. Ling Royal Astronomical Society of Canada, Edmonton, Alberta and L. A. Maillet University of Calgary, Calgary, Alberta Summary A large, bright fireball was widely observed by tens of thousands of eyewitnesses on the evening of November 20, 2008. Subsequently thousands of meteorites fell to the ground and more than 2,500 have been recovered from an area in and near to Buzzard Coulee, Saskatchewan. Many un-calibrated cameras recorded the violent fall of this ~2m boulder. A novel method of calibrating the shadows cast by the fireball has been developed and used to triangulate the atmospheric trajectory. Results show that the rock travelled along a path of 167.5° azimuth at a fairly steep angle of 66.7° altitude. Using timing information with direct measurements of the fireball’s position in the sky an initial velocity of (18.0 ± 0.4) km/s has been determined. An atmospheric trajectory and initial velocity are sufficient data to derive the pre-fall orbit of Buzzard Coulee. The resulting orbit shows that the meteoroid was in a near-Earth Apollo-type orbit before impact. Buzzard Coulee is one of only 14 meteorites worldwide to be associated with a pre-fall orbit. GeoCanada 2010 – Working with the Earth 1 Introduction A bright bolide was observed by tens of thousands of people in Saskatchewan, Alberta, Manitoba and Montana on the night of November 20, 2008.
