Electron microprobe dating of lunar zirconolite by Changkun Park, Hwayoung Kim

“…In this study, we analyzed zirconolites in a granitic clast of the lunar meteorite DEW 12007 using an electron microprobe. MAN (mean atomic number) background, peak interference, and blank corrections were applied to 31 elements including U, Th, and Pb, and REEs, to obtain high-precision and high-accuracy chemical data of the zirconolites. …”

Was the moon magnetized by impact plasmas? by Oran, Rona, Weiss, Benjamin P, Shprits, Yuri, Miljković, Katarina, Tóth, Gábor

“…The crusts of the Moon, Mercury, and many meteorite parent bodies are magnetized. Although the magnetizing field is commonly attributed to that of an ancient core dynamo, a longstanding hypothesized alternative is amplification of the interplanetary magnetic field and induced crustal field by plasmas generated by meteoroid impacts. …”

Investigating shock processes in bimodal powder compaction through modelling and experiment at the mesoscale by Derrick, J, Rutherford, M, Chapman, D, Davison, T, Duarte, J, Farbaniec, L, Bland, P, Eakins, D, Collins, G

“…This direction-dependent observation may present a new way to decode the magnitude, and direction, of a single shock wave experienced by a meteorite in the past.…”

Interrogating heterogeneous compaction of analogue materials at the mesoscale through numerical modeling and experiments by Derrick, J, Rutherford, M, Davison, T, Chapman, D, Eakins, D, Collins, G

“…Meteorites are classified by their relative exposure to three processes: aqueous alteration; thermal metamorphism; and shock processes. …”

Cosmic Transmission of Periodontal, Cardiovascular and Kidney Disease via Nanobacteria by Jafar Kolahi

“…Unbelievably nanobacteria-like rods observed at the surface of the Tataouine meteorite and Martian rock.The hypothesis: It seems logic to hypothesize that aliens from inner space, nanobacteria, can bring us new disease such as periodontal, cardiovascular and kidney diseases via space travels or meteorites or interstellar dusts.Evaluation of the hypothesis: The main criticism with this idea is how NB can keep alive during transfer among seriously life threatening condition in interstellar space. …”

A Search for Magnetized Quark Nuggets (MQNs), a Candidate for Dark Matter, Accumulating in Iron Ore by J. Pace VanDevender, T. Sloan, Michael Glissman

“…Indirect evidence of MQNs has been previously inferred from observations of magnetars and of non-meteorite impact craters. It is shown in this paper that MQNs can accumulate in taconite (iron ore) and be transferred into ferromagnetic rod-mill liners during processing of the ore. …”

Technology of Manufacturing of Disk Blanks to High-Speed Elements for Tests on Anti-Meteoroid Protection by Kruglov Pavel V., Bolotina Irina A.

“…The charges are used to test the anti-meteorite stability of spacecraft. The proposed method makes it possible to form a blank in which, as its thickness decreases from the center to the periphery, a periodic profile variable in thickness is formed simultaneously in the circumferential direction. …”

Prebiotic Sugar Formation Under Nonaqueous Conditions and Mechanochemical Acceleration by Saskia Lamour, Sebastian Pallmann, Maren Haas, Oliver Trapp

“…Our results imply the possibility of a prebiotic monosaccharide origin in geochemical environments scant or devoid of water promoted by mechanochemical forces such as meteorite impacts or lithospheric activity.…”

Assessing the shock state of the lunar highlands: Implications for the petrogenesis and chronology of crustal anorthosites by Pernet-Fisher, JF, Joy, KH, Martin, DJP, Hanna, KL

“…To investigate how plagioclase trace-element systematics are affected by moderate to weak shock (~5 to 30 GPa) we couple REE+Y abundances with FTIR analyses for FAN clasts from lunar meteorite Northwest Africa (NWA) 2995. We observe weak correlations between plagioclase shock state and some REE+Y systematics (e.g., La/Y and Sm/Nd ratios). …”

Assessing the statistical uniqueness of the Younger Dryas: a robust multivariate analysis by H. Nye, A. Condron

“…Unlike earlier D–O stadials, the YD is frequently considered a unique event, potentially resulting from a rerouting and/or flood of glacial meltwater into the North Atlantic or a meteorite impact. Yet, these mechanisms are less frequently considered as the cause of the earlier stadials. …”
