The distribution and significance of evaporitic weathering products on Antarctic meteorites

This paper examines the occurrence of white evaporitic deposits on Antarctic meteorites from the U.S. collection, as a function of meteorite compositional group and weathering category. Evaporites occur with unusual frequency on carbonaceous chondrites. Almost two-thirds of all evaporite-bearing met...
