...Massimo D’Orazio; Luigi Folco; Kees C. Welten; Marc W. Caffee; Natale Perchiazzi; Pierre Rochette Abstract The Miller Butte (MIB) 03002 iron meteorite was found during the XIX (2003–2004) Antarctic campaign of the Italian Programma Nazionale delle Ricerche in Antartide (PNRA) in northern Victoria...

... Land, Antarctica, showing the locations of Frontier Mountain, Miller Butte, Timber Peak, and Mistake Peak, where microtektites were found. Shaded areas represent exposed bedrock. During the 2006 PNRA expedition, we also found microtektites in similar traps on two other glacially eroded granitic...

(as numbered in Rochette et al., 2008 ), recovered at the summit of Frontier Mountain (72°59.282′S, 160°20.166′E, 2700 m above sea level, masl) and Miller Butte (72°42.751′S, 160°11.994′E, 2600 masl), respectively. Their major axes are in the 900–1600 μm range. These samples were not subjected to magnetic...

The Antarctic MTKs have been exposed to cosmic rays on top of Miller Butte since their emplacement. Therefore, to determine their original 10 Be content, the calculated 10 Be produced in situ over...

... down from the Chair in Mineralogy, Miller was appointed to take his place. Whewell took his own philosophy of science seriously and sought a ‘natural’ rather than what he considered to be an ‘artificial’ basis for his classifications. He knew that many minerals were part of a chemical series (e.g...

Meteorites and lunar samples with slow cooling histories of ~10 °C/My as determined by independent methods, have induced TL peak temperatures...

..., and paleomagnetic stratigraphy of these tuffs and rocks now allow dating of local fossil floras. The Comstock, Goshen, Rujada, and Willamette floras have been widely used as evidence for Eocene-Oligocene climatic cooling and drying. Eocene leaves from Comstock and Hobart Butte included such thermophilic taxa...

Results of our comparative chemical analysis suggest COTM basalts are generally more evolved than the martian materials, with a few notable exceptions. Several COTM flow basalts...
