Terrestrial weathering of Antarctic stone meteorites - Formation of Mg-carbonates on ordinary chondrites

Results are presented on the mineralogy, chemistry, and origin of white efflorescences on the surface of Lewis Cliff (Antarctica) 85320 (H5) chondrite (LEW 85320). Particular attention is given to determining the sources of the cations and anions of the evaporite, in order to establish the relative...
