Chile is an elongated country, running in a north-south direction for more than 30° along a
subduction zone. Its climate is progressively wetter and colder from north to south. This …

Contemporary calculations for the flux of extraterrestrial material falling to the Earth's surface
(each event referred to as a “fall”) rely upon either short-duration fireball monitoring networks …

Photogrammetry is a low‐cost, nondestructive approach for producing 3‐D models of
meteorites for the purpose of determining sample bulk density. Coupled with the use of a …

The arid to semi-arid climate of northern African countries is an asset for the preservation of
meteorites and impact structures. The Sahara, the largest hot desert in the world, is …

The evolution of the meteorite flux to Earth can be studied by determining the terrestrial ages
of meteorites collected in hot deserts. We measured the terrestrial ages of 54 stony …

We describe the geological, morphological, and climatic settings of two new meteorite
collections from Atacama (Chile). The “El Médano collection” was recovered by systematic …

We present for the first time a detailed report on the discovery of a new meteorite collection
region in the Lut Desert, eastern–southeastern Iran, describing its geological …

We have investigated 128 14C‐dated ordinary chondrites from Oman for macroscopically
visible weathering parameters, for thin section‐based weathering degrees, and for chemical …

Abstract X‐ray microtomography (XMT), X‐ray diffraction (XRD), and magnetic hysteresis
measurements were used to determine micrometeorite internal structure, mineralogy …

The behavior of rare earth elements (REE s) during hot desert weathering of meteorites is
investigated. Ordinary chondrites (OC s) from Atacama (Chile) and Lut (Iran) deserts show …
