Arlene, Someone just explained this not too long ago. If I recall: cooling is a factor, but mainly it's the amount of nickel in the meteorite that determines the pattern. The slower it cooled, the larger the interlaced crystals of taenite and kamacite, both iron nickel alloys. The width of t

These irons may have formed after an impact into the chondritic surface of these bodies involving local melting and separation of the metallic and silicate liquids because they were immiscible. The metal liquid sank to the crater floor, incorporated some rapidly melted silicate debris and coole

Sorry,, but I guess I was not clear. The only group of silicate-bearing irons widely agreed to have come from an asteroid core is the IVA group. This group has little silicate, mainly small grains of silica, which some think may have been vapor deposited in the core. There are no collisions i

Re: [meteorite-list] Let's talk about meteorites

OK, I think I see the subtle difference. I have had to re-read Dr. Rubin's post several times to get the picture (Thanks to MikeG, too). Simplified, an asteroid slams into another planetary body right to the iron core and forms mesosiderites. That part I knew, but when smaller iron asteroid
