Rocca, Víctor Manuel García1st ed. 2014.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Springer,2014.1 online resource (150 p.)SpringerBriefs in Earth System Sciences,2191-589XDescription based upon print version of record.3-319-01924-4 Includes bibliographical references at the end of each chapters and index.Introduction -- Argentina -- Bolivia -- Brazil -- Chile -- Colombia -- Ecuador -- Paraguay -- Peru -- Uruguay -- Venezuela.The first Catalogue of Meteorites from South America includes new specimens never previously reported, while doubtful cases and pseudometeorites have been deliberately omitted. The falling of these objects is a random event, but the sites where old meteorites are found tend to be focused in certain areas, e.g. in the deflation surfaces in Chile’s Atacama Desert, due to favorable climate conditions and ablation processes. Our Catalogue provides basic information on each specimen like its provenance and the place where it was discovered (in geographic co-ordinates and with illustrative maps), its official name, its classification type (class, and if applicable, weathering grade and shock stage), if it was seen falling or was found by chance, its total mass or weight, the institution where it is held, and the most important bibliographic references about it.SpringerBriefs in Earth System Sciences,2191-589XPlanetary scienceMineralogySpace sciencesPlanetologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G18010Mineralogyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G38000Space Sciences (including Extraterrestrial Physics, Space Exploration and Astronautics)https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22030Planetary science.Mineralogy.Space sciences.Planetology.Mineralogy.Space Sciences (including Extraterrestrial Physics, Space Exploration and Astronautics).523.51Acevedo Rogelio Danielauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut979422Rocca Maximiliano C.Lauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autGarcía Víctor Manuelauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910298377103321Catalogue of Meteorites from South America2516448UNINA
