Ureilite - Wikipedia
WEBUreilite is a rare type of stony meteorite that has a unique mineralogical composition very different from that of other stony meteorites. This dark grey or brownish meteorite type is named after the village Novy Urey ( Cyrillic : Новый Урей ), Mordovia Republic of Russia , where a meteorite of this type fell on 4 September 1886.
Nickel and Chromium Stable Isotopic Composition of Ureilites ...
WEBMar 16, 2022 · Ureilites have an average δ 60/58 Ni value of 0.26 ± 0.13‰ (2SD, N = 22) that is highly consistent with that of chondrites with δ 60/58 Ni = 0.23 ± 0.14‰ (2SD, N = 37), which suggests that planetary core formation does not effectively fractionate Ni …
Diamonds in Ureilites: the Never-Ending Story
WEBAug 1, 2021 · Few other meteorites, or meteorite types, have been reported to contain diamonds … with one renowned exception: the curious case of diamonds in ureilites. The ureilites constitute a major group of nonchondritic meteorites.
Incremental melting in the ureilite parent body: Initial …
WEBApr 19, 2020 · Ureilites are carbon-rich ultramafic achondrites that have been heated above the silicate solidus, do not contain plagioclase, and represent the melting residues of an unknown planetesimal (i.e., the ureilite parent body, UPB).
Ureilite meteorites provide a new model of early planetesimal …
WEBJul 8, 2020 · Ureilite meteorites are ultramafic rocks derived from parts of the depleted silicate mantle of their parent planetesimal. We used Monte Carlo modelling to explain the observed array of oxygen isotopes and major element chemistry shown by bulk ureilites, after restoration of their missing core and silicate melt components.
Diamonds Hidden in a Meteorite Formed in a Protoplanet
WEBApr 17, 2018 · Now, an analysis published today in Nature Communications suggests that diamonds trapped in a rare meteorite called a ureilite show evidence of these early worlds. How did they find it?

Origin and history of ureilitic material in the solar system: The view ...
WEBIn this paper, we develop a new model for the origin and history of ureilitic material in the solar system (presented in preliminary form in Hartmann et al. 2011), informed by the discovery of asteroid 2008 TC 3 and the fall of Almahata Sitta.
Folded diamond has been discovered in a rare type of meteorite.
WEBSep 12, 2022 · But that’s exactly what we’ve found inside a rare group of meteorites known as ureilites, which likely came from the mantle of a dwarf planet or very large asteroid that was destroyed 4.56 billion...
WEBIntroduction: Ureilites comprise the second larg-est group of achondrites after HED meteorites. The main group ureilites are coarse-grained ultramafic rocks consisting mainly of olivine and pyroxenes and are thought to represent the mantle of a partially melt-ed, carbon-rich asteroid [e.g., 1, 2].
