#ndwgoecountdown Meteoriten – Boten aus dem All

Immer wieder bahnen sich Gesteinsbrocken aus dem Weltall ihren Weg auf die Erde. Meteoriten sind interessant für Forschende. Denn die Brocken sind Zeitzeugen der Entstehung des Sonnensystems. Ihre genaue Zusammensetzung kann helfen zu verstehen, wie das Sonnensystem zu dem Ort wurde, den wir heute kennen. Mit echten Meteoriten zum Anfassen!

Billion-year-old impact in Scotland sparks questions about life on land

New research from the University of St Andrews has revealed that a meteorite which struck northwestern Scotland occurred about 200 million years later than previously thought, in a discovery that not only rewrites this part of Scotland’s geological history but alters our understanding of the conditions during the evolution of non-marine life on Earth.

Previously believed to have occurred 1.2 billion years ago, the impact created the Stac Fada Member, a layer of rock that holds vital clues to Earth’s ancient past, including how meteorite strikes may have influenced the planet’s environment and life.

This will be an ongoing mega-thread that will be updated regularly.

If you have an interest in collecting #meteorites, please bookmark this thread for future reference.

This idea was inspired by my original meteorite mentor, Michael Blood. Michael penned a similar monthly column for Meteorite Magazine back in the aughts, and I hope to continue the tradition of offering regular insights on trends in the meteorite collecting community.
