Petrology and geochemistry of Antarctic micrometeorites
TL;DR: The petrology and geochemistry of twentythree chondritic dust particles with masses of 1-47 μg (sizes 100-400 μm) were recovered from blue ice near Cap Prudhomme, Antarctica, and studied by INAA, ASEM, EMPA, and optical microscopy as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: A new type of meteoritic material, intermediate in size between meteorites and interplanetary dust particles (IDPs), is described in this paper, which is a new family of solar system objects in a mass range corresponding to the bulk of extraterrestrial material accreted by the earth today.

Carbonaceous micrometeorites from Antarctica.
C. Engrand,M. Maurette +1 more
TL;DR: Applications of micrometeorite studies that have been previously presented to exobiologists but deal with the synthesis of prebiotic molecules on the early Earth, and more recently, with the early history of the solar system are discussed.

Experimental simulation of atmospheric entry of micrometeorites
TL;DR: In this paper, the formation of a magnetite shell around most micrometeorites, which can not be reproduced, neither theoretically nor experimentally, has been investigated, and it is possible to estimate the atmospheric entry conditions of micromite entry conditions, such as the peak temperature and the duration of flash-heating.

Micrometeorites from Central Antarctic snow: The CONCORDIA collection
TL;DR: This paper recovered micrometeorites from surface snow layers near the French-Italian station CONCORDIA, which are characterized by a high content of Fe-sulfides and an undepleted CI elemental abundance pattern of their fine-grained matrix.
