Abstract
On 21 January 2024, asteroid 2024BX1, discovered the three hours before, fell to Earth south of Ribbeck in the Havelland region of Germany. In this study, fragments of the Ribbeck meteorite, characterized by white and gray colors lithology, were examined for their chemical and phase compositions. The white lithology fragment exhibited a homogeneous chemical and phase structure typical of orthopyroxene, which crystallizes in the orthorhombic system. The gray lithology fragment showed a greater diversity in chemical and phase compositions. Raman spectra analysis revealed that, in addition to the pyroxenes found in the white lithology fragment, minerals from the olivine group (fayalite and forsterite) were also present, along with plagioclase and sulfur in pure crystalline form.
