  • A PROTEROZOIC 40Ar/39Ar AGE for the SUVASVESI SOUTH STRUCTURE (FINLAND)
    72nd Annual Meteoritical Society Meeting (2009) 5076.pdf A PROTEROZOIC 40Ar/39Ar AGE FOR THE SUVASVESI SOUTH STRUCTURE (FINLAND). E. Buchner1, M. Schmieder1, W. H. Schwarz2, M. Trieloff2, J.

As no isotopic data have so far been available, only the age of the ~1.88 Ga Paleoproterozoic (and some ~2.7 Ga Archean) crystalline target rocks of the Baltic Shield [1] is cited as the maximum impact age. Paleomagnetic data suggested either a Permo-Triassic (~230-280 Ma) or a Neoproterozoic (770-790 Ma) age for the Suvasvesi North impact structure [4,5]. We here present the first 40Ar/39Ar age for the Suvasvesi South structure. Samples and analytical procedure: Clast-poor particles of impact melt rock (87.1 mg) recovered by one of the authors (J. M.) from the Mannamäki area were chosen for 40Ar/39Ar dat- ing at the University of Heidelberg [6,7]. Results and interpretation: 40Ar/39Ar step-heating analysis yielded no plateau within a perturbed, hump-shaped [8] age spectrum with younger apparent ages (~100-450 Ma) within the low-temperature (T) heating steps (~13% of 39Ar released), older apparent ages (~820 Ma) in the mid-T fractions (~47% of 39Ar), and intermediate apparent ages (~715-710) Ma in the four final high-T steps (~40% of 39Ar).

  • Global Spectral Classification of Martian Low-Albedo Regions with Mars Global Surveyor Thermal Emission Spectrometer (MGS-TES) Data A
    JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH, VOL. 112, E02004, doi:10.1029/2006JE002726, 2007 Global spectral classification of Martian low-albedo regions with Mars Global Surveyor Thermal Emission Spectrometer (MGS-TES) data A. Deanne Rogers,1 Joshua L. Bandfield,2 and Philip R. Christensen2 Received 4 April 2006; revised 12 August 2006; accepted 13 September 2006; published 14 February 2007. [1] Martian low-albedo surfaces (defined here as surfaces with Mars Global Surveyor Thermal Emission Spectrometer (MGS-TES) albedo values 0.15) were reexamined for regional variations in spectral response. Low-albedo regions exhibit spatially coherent variations in spectral character, which in this work are grouped into 11 representative spectral shapes. The use of these spectral shapes in modeling global surface emissivity results in refined distributions of previously determined global spectral unit types (Surface Types 1 and 2). Pure Type 2 surfaces are less extensive than previously thought, and are mostly confined to the northern lowlands. Regional-scale spectral variations are present within areas previously mapped as Surface Type 1 or as a mixture of the two surface types, suggesting variations in mineral abundance among basaltic units. For example, Syrtis Major, which was the Surface Type 1 type locality, is spectrally distinct from terrains that were also previously mapped as Type 1. A spectral difference also exists between southern and northern Acidalia Planitia, which may be due in part to a small amount of dust cover in southern Acidalia. Groups of these spectral shapes can be averaged to produce spectra that are similar to Surface Types 1 and 2, indicating that the originally derived surface types are representative of the average of all low-albedo regions.

  • Rocks, Soils and Surfaces: Teacher Guide
    National Aeronautics and Space Administration ROCKS, SOILS, AND SURFACES Planetary Sample and Impact Cratering Unit Teacher Guide Goal: This activity is designed to introduce students to rocks, “soils”, and surfaces on planetary worlds, through the exploration of lunar samples collected by Apollo astronauts and the study of the most dominant geologic process across the Solar System, the impact process. Students will gain an understanding of how the study of collected samples and impact craters can help improve our understanding of the history of the Moon, Earth, and our Solar System. Additionally, this activity will enable students to gain experience with scientific practices and the nature of science as they model skills and practices used by professional scientists. Objectives: Students will: 1. Make observations of rocks, “soil”, and surface features 2. Gain background information on rocks, “soil”, and surface features on Earth and the Moon 3. Apply background knowledge related to rocks, soils, and surfaces on Earth toward gaining a better understanding of these aspects of the Moon. This includes having students: a. Identify common lunar surface features b. Create a model lunar surface c. Identify the three classifications of lunar rocks d. Simulate the development of lunar regolith e. Identify the causes and formation of impact craters 4. Design and conduct an experiment on impact craters 5. Create a plan to investigate craters on Earth and on the Moon 6. Gain an understanding of the nature of science and scientific practices by: a. Making initial observations b. Asking preliminary questions c. Applying background knowledge d. Displaying data e. Analyzing and interpreting data Grade Level: 6 – 8* *Grade Level Adaptations: This activity can also be used with students in grades 5 and 9-12.

(2013) assess the appar ent contradiction that the near-Earth asteroid population 14 consists of 15% binaries, while the terrestrial (and Martian) impact crater populations have only 2-4% of observable 15 doublet craters. The authors suggest that only a small fraction of sufficiently well separated binary asteroids yield 16 recognizable doublets. We generally agree with the conclusions by Miljković et al. (2013) and acknowledge the high 17 quality and relevance of the study. However, we would like to bring into focus additional geochronologic constraints 18 that are critical when evaluating terrestrial impact crater doublets. Miljković et al. (2013) appraised five potential 19 terrestrial doublets using the Earth Impact Database (EID; as of 2010). We hereby warn against the indiscriminate 20 usage of impact ages compiled in this database without an assessment based on solid isotopic and stratigraphic 21 constraints and comment on the geological, geochronological, and geochemical evidence for doublet impact craters 22 on Earth.

  • Structural Analysis of the Collar of the Vredefort Dome, South Africa— Significance for Impact-Related Deformation and Central Uplift Formation
    Meteoritics & Planetary Science 40, Nr 9/10, 1537–1554 (2005) Abstract available online at http://meteoritics.org Structural analysis of the collar of the Vredefort Dome, South Africa— Significance for impact-related deformation and central uplift formation Frank WIELAND, Roger L. GIBSON*, and Wolf Uwe REIMOLD Impact Cratering Research Group, School of Geosciences, University of the Witwatersrand, Private Bag 3, P.O. Wits 2050, Johannesburg, South Africa *Corresponding author. E-mail: [email protected] (Received 25 October 2004; revision accepted 13 July 2005) Abstract–Landsat TM, aerial photograph image analysis, and field mapping of Witwatersrand supergroup meta-sedimentary strata in the collar of the Vredefort Dome reveals a highly heterogeneous internal structure involving folds, faults, fractures, and melt breccias that are interpreted as the product of shock deformation and central uplift formation during the 2.02 Ga Vredefort impact event. Broadly radially oriented symmetric and asymmetric folds with wavelengths ranging from tens of meters to kilometers and conjugate radial to oblique faults with strike-slip displacements of, typically, tens to hundreds of meters accommodated tangential shortening of the collar of the dome that decreased from ∼17% at a radius from the dome center of 21 km to <5% at a radius of 29 km. Ubiquitous shear fractures containing pseudotachylitic breccia, particularly in the metapelitic units, display local slip senses consistent with either tangential shortening or tangential extension; however, it is uncertain whether they formed at the same time as the larger faults or earlier, during the shock pulse. In addition to shatter cones, quartzite units show two fracture types—a cm- spaced rhomboidal to orthogonal type that may be the product of shock-induced deformation and later joints accomplishing tangential and radial extension.

A 2.5D Hydraulic Model for Floods in Athabasca Valles, Mars [#2245] We present initial results from the application of a new numerical model to floods in Athabasca Valles, Mars. Issues with the sparseness of MOLA data are of concern. Collier A. Sakimoto S. E. H. Grossman J. A. Silliman S. E. Parametric Study of Martian Floods at Cerberus Fossae [#2313] Recent studies of Athabasca Valles use values that may be artificially constrained. A set of Earth-derived values are proposed to be used when calculating flow rates. This will allow for the determination of the formation events of Athabasca Valles with greater accuracy.
