Lancefieldryhmittelyistä

Lancefieldryhm is a term used to describe a specific group of meteorites that exhibit characteristics suggesting a common origin, possibly from a single asteroid impact event. The name originates from the Lancefield meteorite, discovered in Lancefield, Victoria, Australia. This meteorite, a stony chondrite, was the first to be thoroughly studied and identified as belonging to this particular class.

Meteorites in the Lancefieldryhm are typically ordinary chondrites, a common type of stony meteorite. However, they possess certain mineralogical and textural features that distinguish them from other chondrite groups. These features can include specific proportions of certain minerals, the size and distribution of chondrules (small, rounded grains that were once molten droplets), and the presence of particular metallic alloys.

The study of Lancefieldryhm meteorites is important for understanding the early solar system and the processes that occurred during its formation. By analyzing the composition and structure of these meteorites, scientists can gain insights into the parent body from which they originated and the impact event that ejected them into space. This can help to refine models of asteroid formation and evolution, as well as the dynamics of impact processes within the solar system. While the exact number of meteorites definitively classified within the Lancefieldryhm can vary as research progresses, it represents a significant area of study in meteorite science.
