Relationships Among Physical Properties Indicate the Impact Origins of Friable Ordinary Chondrites
Abstract
We postulate that prior to a gentle impact, the friable ordinary chondrites were high-porosity, uncompacted, and cool. The gentle crushing was intense enough to slightly deform the metal grains and cause breakage of the brittle silicates.
