A meteorite mineral is a mineral found chiefly or exclusively within meteorites or meteorite-derived material. [citation needed] This is a list of those minerals, excluding minerals also commonly found in terrestrial rocks. As of 1997 there were approximately 295 mineral species which have been identified in meteorites. [1]
The new mineral was found along with hexamolybdenum. [2] These minerals, are believed to demonstrate conditions during the early stages of the Solar System, as is the case with many CV3 carbonaceous chondrites such as the Allende meteorite. [2] It is named after the Allende meteorite that fell in 1969 near Pueblito de Allende, Chihuahua, Mexico ...
Elaliite was named after the El Ali district in Somalia where the meteorite was found. [2] The mineral was identified by Andrew Locock who is employed by the university as the head of its electron microprobe laboratory, [3] and classified by geologist Chris Herd. [4] Locock also identified the first natural specimen of elkinstantonite in the ...
He worked on the Allende and Khatyrka Meteorites and on a variety of Martian meteorites such as the Tissint meteorite. [ 14 ] [ 15 ] These include new minerals such as tistarite, Ti 2 O 3 , [ 16 ] ahrensite, γ-Fe 2 SiO 4 , [ 17 ] tissintite,(Ca,Na, )AlSi 2 O 6 , [ 18 ] krotite, CaAl 2 O 4 , [ 19 ] grossmanite, CaTi 3+ AlSiO 6 [ 20 ] and ...
Niningerite is a magnesium–iron–manganese sulfide mineral with the chemical formula MgS that is found in enstatite chondrite meteorites. [2] Niningerite is the magnesium-dominant analog of keilite. [3] This mineral is named after Harvey H. Nininger.
Panguite is a type of titanium oxide mineral first discovered as an inclusion within the Allende meteorite, and first described in 2012. [4] [5]The hitherto unknown meteorite mineral was named for the ancient Chinese god Pan Gu, the creator of the world through the separation of yin (earth) from yang (sky).
It is named after the Carlsberg Foundation which backed the recovery of the Agpalilik fragment of the Cape York meteorite in which the mineral was first described. [ 2 ] It occurs in meteorites along the grain boundaries of kamacite (nickel-rich native iron) or troilite (FeS: iron sulfide ) in the form of tiny plates. [ 2 ]
Meteoric iron, sometimes meteoritic iron, [1] is a native metal and early-universe protoplanetary-disk remnant found in meteorites and made from the elements iron and nickel, mainly in the form of the mineral phases kamacite and taenite. Meteoric iron makes up the bulk of iron meteorites but is also found in other
