This week’s #MicrometeoriteMonday: A polished scoriaceous micrometeorite from the Sør Rondane Mountains, Antarctica! Unlike fully melted cosmic spherules, scoriaceous micrometeorites are only partially melted and tend to contain abundant vesicles formed by devolatilization. ☄️ @amgc-vub.bsky.social

This week’s Micrometeorite Monday: A polished section of a V-type cosmic spherule from the Atacama Desert! This cool spherule consists almost entirely of silicate glass, plus several tiny FeNi-metal beads. ☄️ @amgc-vub.bsky.social

Back from Goldschmidt 2026 in #Montréal! We had a great time presenting our ongoing research on modern and fossil #micrometeorites! Our PhD members did an excellent job presenting their work as both posters and talks! ☄️ @goldschmidt-confer.bsky.social @amgc-vub.bsky.social @fienjo.bsky.social

Similarly, project lead Steven Goderis and the postdoctoral researchers did an excellent job presenting their research at Goldschmidt 2026, covering topics from #micrometeorite characterization and preservation, as well as #microtektites! ☄️ @goldschmidt-confer.bsky.social @amgc-vub.bsky.social

This week’s Micrometeorite Monday: A polished section of a Porphyritic olivine (Po-type) cosmic spherule from the Sør Rondane Mountains (Antarctica), showing typical well-defined olivine crystals in a glassy matrix with scattered magnetite grains. ☄️ @amgc-vub.bsky.social
