Joint Belgium-Japan search for Antarctic meteorites in the 2010-2011 field season. Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Japan have jointly conducted searches for meteorites in the Sør
Rondane Mountains (SRM), East Antarctica [1]. A total of 635
meteorite specimens were found in the Mt. Balchen area (approximately
72.0° S, 27.5° E), which is located at the eastern end
of the SRM, in the 2009-2010 field season [2]. Here we report
the search for meteorites hosted by the ...

A large meteoritic event over Antarctica ca. 430 ka ago inferred from chondritic cosmic spherules from the Sør Rondane Mountains Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Large airbursts, the most frequent hazardous impact events, are estimated to occur orders of magnitude more frequently than crater-forming impacts. However, finding traces of these events is impeded by the difficulty of identifying them in the recent geological record. Here, we describe condensation spherules found on top of Walnumfjellet in the Sør Rondane Mountains, Antarctica. Affinities with similar spherules found in EPICA Dome C and ...
Artificial weathering of an ordinary chondrite Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Meteorites are prone to errestrial weathering not only after their fall on the Earth’s surface but also during storage in museum collections. To study the susceptibility of this material to weathering, weathering experiments were carried out on polished sections of the H5 chondrite Asuka 10177. The experiments consisted of four 100-days cycles during which temperature and humidity varied on a twelve hours basis. The first alteration cycle ...
