The plausibility of origins scenarios requiring two impactors

Richard J Anslow, Amy Bonsor, Paul B Rimmer +3

Hydrogen cyanide delivered by cometary impactors can be concentrated as ferrocyanide salts, which may support the initial stages of prebiotic chemistry on the early Earth. One way…

Cosmic dust fertilization of glacial prebiotic chemistry on early Earth

Craig R. Walton, Jessica K. Rigley, Alexander Lipp +5

Earth's surface is deficient in available forms of many elements considered limiting for prebiotic chemistry. In contrast, many extraterrestrial rocky objects are rich in these sam…

Ancient and recent collisions revealed by phosphate minerals in the Chelyabinsk meteorite

Craig R. Walton, Oliver Shorttle, Sen Hu +8

The collision history of asteroids is an important archive of inner Solar System evolution. Evidence for these collisions is brought to Earth by meteorites, which can preserve impa…

Microtextures in the Chelyabinsk impact breccia reveal the history of Phosphorus-Olivine-Assemblages in chondrites

Craig R. Walton, Ioannis Baziotis, Ana Černok +4

The geochemistry and textural associations of chondritic phosphate minerals can provide insights into the geological histories of parental asteroids, but the processes governing th…
