Insight Into Geological Evolution of the Mesosiderite Parent Body From Olivine Alteration and Merrillite Pb‐Pb Age in Dong Ujimqin Qi
Mesosiderites are thought to be created by a catastrophic impact that mixes the silicate crust
with the metallic core of a differentiated asteroid (s). The metal‐silicate mixing event greatly …
