SUMMARY:Jan 2020 Talk: Meteorites (Tom Barratt)
DESCRIPTION:Talk: ‘Meteorites’ – An illustrated talk by Tom Barratt for WGCG.  \n\n\n\nNon-technical preview:  \n\n\n\nIt’s Raining Rocks! Meteorites!   \n\n\n\n Meteorites provide a window into the history of the Solar System and are key to understanding its formation and evolution. Recent studies of water\, chlorine and fluorine (volatile elements\, which influence how planets form) in Moon and Martian rocks have changed our understanding of the amount of volatiles in the inner Solar System and hence the formation and evolution of these planetary bodies \n\n\n\nMost meteorite samples come from small parent bodies (asteroids). Fewer are from larger bodies such as the Moon or Mars.The variety of meteorites’ composition and age enables us to study different parts of the Solar System as well as different points in its evolution.\n\n\n\nThe Howardite-Eucrite-Diogenite (HED) meteorites are some of the oldest igneous rocks in the solar system. Remaining relatively unaltered since their formation\, just 8 – 20 Ma after the solar system itself formed\, they offer insight into planetary accretion processes. They represent the largest suite of crustal rocks available from a differentiated basaltic asteroid and account for between 2-3% of all meteorites collected globally.\n\n\n\n>Knowing precisely when water came together under the influence of gravity in the inner solar system also has implications for how and when life emerged on Earth and possibly beyond. \n\n\n\nThe talk is entitled: ‘Volatile Elements in the Inner Solar System’ Abstract is shown below.< \n\n\n\nVisitors welcome\, £2 on door. Free to members and students in full-time education.Visitors: Please e-mail warwickshiregcg@gmail.com to say how many are coming\n\n\n\n\nMeteorites – A talk by Tom Barratt for WGCG \n\n\n\n\nTalks are in the Church HallAmple Free parking \n\n\n\nAbstract: Volatile Elements in the Inner Solar System \n\n\n\nVolatile elements play a fundamental role in planetary formation and evolution through their influence on a number of processes. Recent in situ measurements of volatiles (H2O\, Cl and F)\, particularly in lunar and Martian samples\, have changed our understanding of the volatile inventory of the inner Solar System. Whilst this has provided a wealth of data for these planetary bodies\, currently little is known about the history of volatiles in other bodies in the inner Solar System. \n\n\n\nMeteorites provide a window into the history of the Solar System and are key to understanding its formation and evolution. The majority of these samples come from a variety of small parent bodies (asteroids) whilst a small fraction originate from larger bodies such as the Moon or Mars. The variety of meteorites\, both in terms of composition and age\, enables us to study different parts of the Solar System as well as different points in its evolution. \n\n\n\nThe Howardite-Eucrite-Diogenite (HED) suite of meteorites represents the largest suite of crustal rocks available from a differentiated basaltic asteroid and account for between 2-3% of all meteorites collected globally. This group of meteorites are also some of the oldest igneous rocks in the solar system\, remaining relatively unaltered since their formation ~8 to 20 Ma after the formation of the solar system\, and offer insight into the planetary accretion process(es). \n\n\n\nBy investigating the abundance and source(s) of volatiles in the HEDS we can begin to constrain the timing of when water (H2O) existed in the inner Solar System. Knowing precisely when water accreted in the inner solar system also has implications for how and when life emerged on Earth and possibly beyond. \n\n\n\nEnquiries: warwickshiregcg@gmail.com
