在牙形石样品的酸不溶性残留物中发现磁性小球,鼓励了对阿根廷西北部奥陶纪微陨石的系统搜索。从东方科迪勒拉(Santa Rosita地层)的6个样品(岩石总重量:23公斤)的磁性部分中回收了约220块熔融微陨石,从阿根廷前科迪勒拉(Las Aguaditas、Gualcamayo和Las Vacas地层)的5个样品(岩石总重量:8.9公斤)中回收了17块熔融微陨石。这些样品类似于I型宇宙球粒,在化学性质和独特的树枝状和多边形晶体结构方面。它们代表了比现在大几个数量级的微陨石流。前科迪勒拉山脉和东方科迪勒拉山脉样品之间球粒丰度的巨大差异可能反映了沉积速率的不确定性或地外物质流入地球的时间变化。这些微陨石的形成时间跨度从特雷马多西晚期到达里利维晚期(约480-460 Ma),这与一段外星物质流量增加的时期相一致,这与苏格兰、瑞典和中国中部几千公里外的同时代地平线的记录相一致。版权所有© 2012约翰威利父子有限公司.
The discovery of magnetic spherules in acid‐insoluble residues from conodont samples encouraged a systematic search for Ordovician micrometeorites from northwestern Argentina. Some 220 melted micrometeorites were recovered from the magnetic fraction of six samples (total rock weight: 23 kg) from the Cordillera Oriental (Santa Rosita Formation) and 17 from five samples (total rock weight: 8.9 kg) from the Argentine Precordillera (Las Aguaditas, Gualcamayo and Las Vacas formations). The specimens resemble I‐type cosmic spherules, in their chemistry and distinct dendritic and polygonal crystalline structures. They represent a flux of micrometeorites several orders of magnitude greater than present. The wide differences in spherule abundance between the Precordillera and the Cordillera Oriental samples could reflect uncertainties in the sedimentary rates or temporal variations in the flux of extraterrestrial matter to Earth. The micrometeorite‐bearing formations span the late Tremadocian to the late Darriliwian (~480–460 Ma), which is consistent with a period of elevated flux of extraterrestrial material, as recorded several thousand kilometres away from coeval horizons in Scotland, Sweden and central China.
