Udei Station silicate-bearing
iron, with mm-scale at left. (Polished and etched sample CML0264-2.)
Cross-polarized transmitted light image of Udei Station showing
olivine, clinopyroxene, plagioclase, metal and troilite; the field-of-view
is approximately 7.8 mm wide.

Major
research projects:
-
Aggregational olivine inclusions
in chondrites-- how early-formed dust evolved in the solar system
and how it relates to other primitive material (chondrules and CAIs)
-
Silicates in iron meteorites--
what
silicate-bearing iron meteorites tell us about the melting, differentiation,
and collisional histories of early planetary bodies in the solar system
-
Relict olivine grains in chondrules--
what
grains that were incompletely molten during chondrule melting epsiodes
tell us about the chemical, physical, thermal, and isotopic evolution of
chondrules
Other research projects:
-
Petrologic study of the Portales
Valley hybrid meteorite
-
Deformation and thermal history
of the Portales Valley meteorite
-
Complex shock effects in the
Buck Mountains Wash chondrite
-
Dark inclusions (DIs) in carbonaceous
chondrites
-
Franconia, Arizona area meteorites
