The stone is an ordinary chondrite belonging to the high iron group H, type 4. Electron microprobe analyses of olivine (Fa18.1) and pyroxene (Fs16.5), phosphate, plagioclase, opaque phases, matrix and chondrule glasses are presented. The metal phases present are kamacite (6.08 % Ni), taenite (31.66 % Ni), high nickel taenite (50.01 % Ni) and traces of native Cu. The chondrules average apparent diameter measures 0.62 mm. X-ray diffraction pattern shows olivine, pyroxene and kamacite. Alkaline-type glass is found mainly in chondrules. This meteorite is a stage S3, shock-blackened chondrite with weathering grade W0.

  • A Review of Evidence for a Gulf of Tonkin Location for the Australasian Tektite Source Crater Aubrey Whymark* Consultant Wellsite Geologist, Manila, Philippines
    Thai Geoscience Journal 2(2), 2021, p. 1-29 1 Copyright © 2021 by the Department of Mineral Resources of Thailand ISSN-2730-2695; DOI-10.14456/tgj.2021.2 A review of evidence for a Gulf of Tonkin location for the Australasian tektite source crater Aubrey Whymark* Consultant Wellsite Geologist, Manila, Philippines. *Corresponding author: [email protected] Received 5 March 2021; Accepted 17 June 2021. Abstract Australasian tektites (AAT) occur across Southeast Asia, Australia, the Indian Ocean, and southwest Pacific Ocean. AAT form the youngest and most extensive major tektite strewn field. Unlike other tektite strewn fields, AAT have no known source crater. Review of the literature establishes that a single ~ 43 km post-impact diameter crater exists, possibly significantly enlarged by slumping. The obliquity of the impact that formed the AAT would result in a crater that is less pervasive in depth but with greater downrange shock effects and melt ejection. Multiple lines of evidence, historically viewed in isolation, were examined, concatenated, contextualized, and discussed. Tektite morpho- logy and distribution; microtektite regressions; geochemical considerations, comparisons, and iso- -concentration regressions; lithological characteristics; age of source rock; and regional geological considerations are reviewed. The source material is predicted to be an abnormally thick sequence of rapidly deposited, poorly compacted, deltaic to shallow marine, shales to clay-rich siltstones of early Pleistocene to Pliocene age. The impact likely occurred in a shallow marine environment. Forty- two maps of positive and negative parameters are presented and overlain. These indicate the AAT source crater probably lies in the central to northwestern Yinggehai - Song Hong Basin / Gulf of Tonkin.

E-mail: [email protected] (Received 10 September 2008; revision accepted 28 December 2009) Abstract–We have determined the elemental abundances and the isotopic compositions of noble gases in a bulk sample and an HF ⁄ HCl residue of the Saratov (L4) chondrite using stepwise heating. The Ar, Kr, and Xe concentrations in the HF ⁄ HCl residue are two orders of magnitude higher than those in the bulk sample, while He and Ne concentrations from both are comparable. The residue contains only a portion of the trapped heavy noble gases in Saratov; 40 ± 9% for 36Ar, 58 ± 12% for 84Kr, and 48 ± 10% for 132Xe, respectively. The heavy noble gas elemental pattern in the dissolved fraction is similar to that in the residue but has high release temperatures. Xenon isotopic ratios of the HF ⁄ HCl residue indicate that there is no Xe-HL in Saratov, but Ne isotopic ratios in the HF ⁄ HCl residue lie on a straight line connecting the cosmogenic component and a composition between Ne-Q and Ne-HL. This implies that the Ne isotopic composition of Q has been changed by incorporating Ne-HL (Huss et al.

    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.

    Meteorite Collections: Sample List Institute of Meteoritics Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences University of New Mexico October 01, 2021 Institute of Meteoritics Meteorite Collection The IOM meteorite collection includes samples from approximately 600 different meteorites, representative of most meteorite types. The last printed copy of the collection's Catalog was published in 1990. We will no longer publish a printed catalog, but instead have produced this web-based Online Catalog, which presents the current catalog in searchable and downloadable forms. The database will be updated periodically. The date on the front page of this version of the catalog is the date that it was downloaded from the worldwide web. The catalog website is: Although we have made every effort to avoid inaccuracies, the database may still contain errors. Please contact the collection's Curator, Dr. Rhian Jones, ([email protected]) if you have any questions or comments.

SCHEIBER N.A.S.A., Ames Research Ccnter, Moffett Field, California 31- Abstract-~Ieasurements of specific gravity by the method of liquid flotation have been made on about 6000 tektites from 18 different localities in Australasia, from 1 locality in Texas and 2 in Czechoslovakia. Comparison of specific-gravity population polygons for various localities has led to the unanticipated conclusion that the amtralite population in southwest Australia is essentially the same as the philippinite population, rather than the population elsewhere in Australia. The javanite population appears closely related to certain populations in Australia. In several localities the presence of two superimposed populations is demonstrated. The specific- gravity evidence indicates that the Australasian tektites represent a single event comprising many distinguishable clusters, some of which have partially overlapped. INTRODUCTION #e AT the turn of this century, the Austrian geologist SUESS(1900) gave the collective name of “tektites” to three widely separated groups of natural glass objects then known to be scattered over parts of Australia, Czechoslovakia and the island of Billiton.

Natural History (Mineralogy), Humbold University Berlin, Invalidenstrasse 43, 10115 Berlin, Germany *Corresponding author: [email protected], Tel: +1 314-935-8634, Fax: +1 314-935-7361 Abstract: Tektites are terrestrial natural glasses, produced during a hypervelocity impact of an asteroid (or comet nucleus) into the Earth surface. The similarity between the chemical and isotopic compositions of tektites and terrestrial upper continental crust implies they formed from the target rocks. The mechanism of the loss of water as well as the behavior of volatile species during tektites formation is still debated, and volatilization at high temperature is a possible way. Volatilization can fractionate isotopes, and, therefore, comparing the isotope composition of volatile elements in tektites with their source rocks may help to understand the conditions of evaporation. In this study, we have measured the Zn isotopic composition of 20 tektites from the four different strewn fields. Almost all the samples are enriched in heavy isotopes of Zn compared to the upper continental crust.
