Impact-melt origin for the Simondium, Pinnaroo, and Hainholz mesosiderites: Implications for impact processes beyond the earth-moon system

Floran, R. J.; Caulfield, J. B. D.; Harlow, G. E.; Prinz, M. (Pergamon Press, 1978)

The Simondium, Pinnaroo, and Hainholz mesosiderites are interpreted to be clast-laden impact melts that crystallized from immiscible silicate, metallic (Fe-FeS) liquids.
Silicate petrography, classification, and origin of the mesosiderites: Review and new observations

Floran, R. J. (Pergamon Press, 1978)

The classification of mesosiderites proposed by Powell (1971) is modified and expanded to include impact melts. A petrographic study of all 20 mesosiderites reveals that most contain a complex assemblage of mineral, lithic, ...
