meteorites - Opis:
- Kuźnica meteorite was found in summer 2008 by an inhabitant of Częstochowa in the village of Kuźnica (Poland, voivodeship: Łódź, county: Pajęczano) in Poland. The finder, who is a passionate and collector of interesting stones, shared his find with the world only after a few years in the autumn of 2018. The found meteorite with a mass of 2.14 kg is an ordinary chondrite type H5. The degree of weathering on the surface is W2, inside W1. Currently, the meteorite is represented by 3 parts and two thin plates. The main mass is 2.037 kg, fragments are 13.7 g and 5.81 g. The found object was officially classified as a meteorite on 22th of November 2020. In this paper, we present the results of the Kuźnica meteorite measurements obtained by using the Mössbauer spectroscopy method. Mössbauer measurements of Kuźnica were performed at room temperature. The experimental spectrum was elaborated with “Recoil” program. Nine mineralogical phases were identified in the obtained Mössbauer spectrum: two doublets associated with olivine, two doublets associated with pyroxene, sextet associated with troilite, sextet associated with metallic phase identified as kamacite, doublet associated with iron hydroxides and two sextets associated with oxyhydroxides. The presence of a metallic phase or troilite in the test sample is convincing evidence of its extraterrestrial origin. These are mineralogical phases that can only arise in space conditions. Mössbauer spectroscopy allows for unambiguous identification of these mineralogical phases. In the standard 4M method, we use four basic phases to determine the type of ordinary chondrite: olivine, pyroxene, troilite and metallic phase, and we choose specimens in which the content of weathered phases does not exceed 7%. The Kuźnica meteorite is heavily weathered. The content of weathered phases is as much as 36.4%. Secondary minerals are a breakdown product of the metallic phase and to a lesser extent of the sulphide phase. Due to the strong weathering of the Kuźnica meteorite, we can modify the 4M method using only two basic phases: olivine and pyroxene. The analysis of the location of the Kuźnica meteorite on the figure of pyroxene vs. olivine dependence shows that it is ordinary chondrite type H. In this paper, the influence of the loss of the metallic and sulphide phases on the position of the Kuźnica meteorite on the figure of pyroxene/olivine vs. (pyroxene+metallic phase/(olivine+troilite)) was also checked. Weathering processes significantly transform many minerals. The resulting compounds often have parameters difficult to identify. However, difficulties in identifying secondary phases and their origins should not prevent an attempt to determine the type of meteorites using the 4M method.
