Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
The main meteorite characteristics and meteorite classification will be learnt by the end of the classes.
Assessment and permitted materials
Students will have to learn classifying ordinary chondrites by optical microscopy and will have to know the main characteristics of all meteorites.
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
For the final test: the majority of questions correctly answered and classification features identified (even in the case of a wrong final classification).
During the classes, student seminars on selected topics.
During the classes, student seminars on selected topics.
Examination topics
Meteorite collection and curation. Meteorite classification. Components of meteorites. Dating meteorites. Shock metamorphism in meteorites. Atmospheric entry and meteorite fusion crust.
