If the data received from probes of Neptune is correct, there is no solid surface on the planet. Instead, the rocky and icy core is completely surrounded by a liquid layer that in turn is smothered by dense gases. The atmosphere around the planet contains thick clouds that are blown around...
A sufficiently dry and unheated host meteorite, like CH chondrites, will keep the mineralogy and petrology of exogenous clasts intact. Data collected during NASA's Mercury Surface, Space Environment, Geochemistry, and Ranging (MESSENGER) mission has greatly improved our understanding of the smallest ...
Highlighted intervals correspond to the rock succession exposed at the studied outcrop 289 However, this assumption has recently been invalidated by Fischer (2019) who found rocks of that age less than 2 m below the surface in the southern part of the island, i.e. at about the same height ...
