inPlanetary Formation Puzzle
Hi Ron and all,
Thanks for the story.
Two lines make me wonder exactly what meteorites they used in the research:
--------------
The researchers at Imperial College London reached their conclusions after
analysing the composition of primitive meteorites, coal-like rocks that
are older than the earth and which have barely changed since the Solar
System was made up of fine dust and gas.
and
The researchers analysed
around half of the approximately 45 primitive meteorite falls in existence
around the world.
I ran a query for carbonaceous meteorites using the COM database and
came up with 36 witnessed falls, and 561 total. Winonites, a total of
11 listed. Brachinites, 7 entries.
Any more info or guesses?
Cheers,
Martin
