Abstract:Mesosiderites are thought to be created by a catastrophic impact that mixes the silicate crust with the metallic core of a differentiated asteroid(s). The metal‐silicate mixing event greatly affects the subsequent geological evolution of the mesosiderite parent body. To gain a better understanding of this mixing event, we carried out studies on olivine alteration and merrillite Pb‐Pb thermochronology in the Dong Ujimqin Qi mesosiderite. The primary olivine in this meteorite has been altered through sulfidation… Show more
