Congratulations to Ren Marquez from @Caltech who is the 2024 recipient of the Pellas-Ryder Award for the paper entitled “Snapshots of an Evolving Solar Nebula Recorded in Nucleosynthetic Sr and Ba Signatures of Early Condensates”. meteoritical.org/news/2024-pell…

One of the most beautiful #tektite fields is associated with the asteroid impact excavation of the #RiesCrater, producing the #Moldavites. In addition, the event affected the surrounding mineralogy & magnetic properties of the rocks. More details in this original #MAPS #article
