Low-temperature aqueous alteration of chondrites
Chondritic meteorites (chondrites) contain evidence for the interaction of liquid water with
the interiors of small bodies early in Solar System history. Here we review the processes …

Heterogeneous nature of the carbonaceous chondrite breccia Aguas Zarcas–Cosmochemical characterization and origin of new carbonaceous chondrite lithologies
Abstract On April 23rd, 2019, the Aguas Zarcas meteorite fall occurred in Costa Rica.
Because the meteorite was quickly recovered, it contains valuable extraterrestrial materials …

Chondrule sizes within the CM carbonaceous chondrites and measurement methodologies
The sizes of chondrules are a valuable tool for understanding relationships between
meteorite groups and the affinity of ungrouped chondrites, documenting temporal/spatial …

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in carbonaceous chondrites can be used as tracers of both pre-accretion and secondary processes
Carbonaceous chondrites contain a diverse suite of more or less soluble compounds,
including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). These compounds are structured …

A record of post-accretion asteroid surface mixing preserved in the Aguas Zarcas meteorite
Particle ejection and redeposition events on the surface of asteroid 101955 Bennu, which
led to transport, mixing and loss of material, have been observed frequently by NASA's …

The water content of CM carbonaceous chondrite falls and finds, and their susceptibility to terrestrial contamination
CM carbonaceous chondrites can be used to constrain the abundance and H isotopic
composition of water and OH in C‐complex asteroids. Previous measurements of the …

Abundance and importance of petrological type 1 chondritic material
We review the mineralogy, petrology, and abundance of petrological type 1 extraterrestrial
material. Such material has been completely altered by aqueous processing on its parent …

Nanoscale infrared characterization of dark clasts and fine-grained rims in CM2 chondrites: Aguas Zarcas and Jbilet Winselwan
Carbonaceous chondrites are among the most primitive meteorites that escaped extreme
temperatures and melting in their parent bodies and, as such, offer valuable records of the …

CM carbonaceous chondrite petrofabrics and their implications for understanding the relative chronologies of parent body deformation and aqueous alteration
CM chondrites have been subjected to numerous alteration processes including brecciation
and ductile deformation. Here, we present the results of 2D and 3D petrofabric analysis …

Compositional and spectroscopic investigation of three ungrouped carbonaceous chondrites
Ungrouped carbonaceous chondrites are not easily classified into one of the well‐
established groups due to compositional/petrological differences and geochemical …
