Some meteoritic minerals form by only a single mechanism, whereas other minerals may be the result of several processes [1]
Some rare and exotic minerals form very minute grains in meteorites. It creates a lot of problems in their identification and detailed description, especially for potentially new mineral species
Summary
Publisher’s Note: MDPI stays neutral with regard to jurisdictional claims in published maps and institutional affiliations. It creates a lot of problems in their identification and detailed description, especially for potentially new mineral species (composition, unit-cell data, and crystal structure). In addition to the classic analytical methods, there has been new achievements in HRTEM (high-resolution transmission electron microscopy), EBSD (electron back-scattered diffraction), SEM (scanning electron microscopy), EMPA (electron microprobe analysis), FTIR (Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy), Raman and Mössbauer spectroscopy, XANES (X-ray absorption near edge structure), synchrotron XRD (X-ray diffraction), and other techniques actively used in studies of micron- and nano-sized meteorite phases [9].
