New Insights into the Origin of Magnetite Crystals in ALH84001 Carbonate Disks
Abstract
Comparison of new TEM results with decomposition studies of sideritic carbonates conducted under a range of heating scenarios suggests that the magnetite nanocrystals in ALH 84001 carbonate disks are not the products of thermal decomposition.
