The crust structure of the Morasko meteorite – a preliminary hypothesis

The crust structure of the Morasko meteorite – a preliminary hypothesis

A small piece of the Morasko meteorite, weighing 970 g, yields traces of its journey through the Earth’s atmosphere and of its impact into a mineral substrate, such as reflected in the meteorite’s crust. This is seen in the crust structure in the form of sintered as well as fusion and semi-fusion la...
