Return to reading list.


The library has scanned several documents and placed them on electronic reserve for me.  In addition, two books have been placed on 2-hour reserve: (1) Meteorites and the Early Solar System (chapters by various authors) has required readings, and (2) Meteorites: a petrologic, chemical and isotopic synthesis (by Hutchison) provides a nice complement to the required articles but is not itself required reading.  These materials supplement the readings in the coursepack and available from the internet.

Follow the following instructions for accessing items on electronic reserve:
 
 

1.  Go to this web site:  http://psu-eres.lib.pdx.edu/

2.  Click on Electronic Reserves and Reserves Pages

3.  Select an instructor (Ruzicka) or course number (G446) or course name (meteorites) then click select

4.  Click accept

5.  Select a document you want.  You will be asked to enter the password (Ruzicka or ruzicka).

6. Now you can view or print the document.

Important note:  you have to have Adobe Acrobat Reader to open or view the documents.  Please make sure your computer has Adobe Acrobat Reader and a printer connection before attempting to access the documents.
 

Items on electronic and 2-hour reserve include the following.  (The numbers here are the same ones as in the reading list).  I also have a copy of the items on 2-hour reserve you may borrow.



Topic: Introduction and overview

1. 2-HOUR RESERVE
Sears D.W.G. and R.T. Dodd (1988) Overview and classification of meteorites.  In Meteorites and the Early Solar System (hereafter MESS) (eds. J.F. Kerridge and M.S. Matthews), pp. 3-31. University of Arizona Press: Tucson.  Discusses meteorite classification with an emphasis on chondrites.

2. E-RESERVE file "differentiated_meteorites.pdf"
Dodd R.T. (1981) Differentiated meteorites: iron meteorites, pallasites, and their associates.  In Meteorites-- A petrologic and chemical synthesis, Ch. 7, pp. 192-235. Cambridge University Press: Cambridge.  Discusses basics about iron meteorites and pallasites, including how they are classified and what they tell us.



Topic: Oxygen isotopes

No required readings or homework; instead, I will be lecturing on this topic.

The following article is available on e-reserve: E-RESERVE file "clayton-oxygen_isotopes_i...pdf"  Clayton R.N. (1993) Oxygen isotopes in meteorites. Annu. Rev. Earth Planet. Sci. 21, 115-149. Reviews info gleaned from O-isotope studies of meteorites.  You can use this as a supplement to the lecture on this topic.  Most relevant for us is the latter half of the paper.
