1. Chrome spinel grains from the Komstad Limestone Formation, Killeröd, southern Sweden : a high-resolution study of an increased meteorite flux in the Middle Ordovician
University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionenAbstract : I mellersta ordovicium var inflödet av kosmiskt material till jorden högre än idag, i sviter-na efter uppbrytningen av den L-kondritiska asteroidkroppen i asteroidbältet mellan Mars och Jupiter, vilket beri-kade den forna havsbottnen med meteoriter och kosmiskt damm. Komstadformationen i Killeröd, Skåne, innehåller ett lager särskilt rikt på L-kondritiska kromitkorn vilket indikerar en hög grad av kondensation. READ MORE

2. Cosmic ray tracks in chondritic material with focus on silicate mineral inclusions in chromite
University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionenAbstract : It has been suggested that the cosmic ray flux varies as Earth moves relative to the spiral arms in the galaxy. However, no satisfying record over the cosmic ray flux over long time scales has been presented. READ MORE

4. Spinel group minerals in carbonaceous and ordinary chondrites
University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionenAbstract : Meteorites are easily altered in the oxygen-rich environment on the Earth surface. Fossil meteorites are thus uncommon and in the ones, which are found, almost all minerals are secondary. However, the spinel group mineral chromite is resistant to alteration and has successfully been used as a proxy for ordinary chondrites in sediment. READ MORE
