Gas-rich meteorites: possible evidence for origin on a regolith
Journal Article
·
· Science, v. 183, no. 4120, pp. 73-74
The asymmetry of irradiation features of grains in the Kapoela and Fayetteville meteorites suggests irradiation on a regolith before meteorite formation. Chondrules and broken grains require approximately 10/sup 4/ years of irradiation time between formation or fracturing and compaction into the meteorite. Shock erasure of tracks from irradiated Kapoeta feldspars requires a severe shock event during or after meteorite formation. (auth)
