Overview
The Steingarden Nunataks (STG) 07009 iron meteorite was found in 2007 during a search campaign in Queen Maud Land, Antarctica, carried out by the Bundesanstalt für Geowissenschaften und Rohstoffe (BGR, Hannover, Germany). It was collected as one complete individual specimen with regmaglypts and weighing ~ 32.6 kg. The main mass (32.2 kg) is stored at the BGR, whereas the type specimen (36.6 g) is kept at the Natural History Museum, Vienna. Macroscopically, the meteorite appears well preserved and does not show any oxidation features in its interior. Textural studies of etched platelets revealed that the meteorite is a plessitic octahedrite with almost all kamacite spindles (apparent width = 0.08 ± 0.03 mm, N = 30) having nuclei of schreibersite. Compositionally, kamacite and schreibersite are mainly uniform. However, a detailed electron microprobe investigation revealed that, in places, the spindles contain schreibersite-metal intergrowths, exhibiting complex textures and compositions. Based on bulk chemistry data, STG 07009 was classified as ungrouped iron with no close relatives. Age calculations based on accelerator mass spectroscopy of the cosmogenic radionuclides ¹⁰Be, ²⁶Al, and ³⁶Cl gave for STG 07009 a cosmic-ray exposure age of 780 ± 100 Myr and a relatively young terrestrial age of 75 ± 33 kyr. Der Eisenmeteorit Steingarden Nunataks (STG) 07009 wurde 2007 im Rahmen einer von der Bundesanstalt für Geowissenschaften und Rohstoffe (BGR, Hannover, Deutschland) im Queen Maud Land, Antarktis durchgeführten Suchkampagne gefunden. STG 07009 wurde als 32,6 kg schweres komplettes Individuum mit Regmaglypten aufgesammelt. Die Hauptmasse (32,2 kg) wird an der BGR verwahrt, das Typmaterial (36,6 g) ist im Naturhistorischen Museum Wien deponiert. Makroskopisch erscheint der Meteorit in gut erhaltenem Zustand und weist keinerlei Rostanzeichen in seinem Inneren auf. Gefügestudien an geätzten Plättchen ergaben, dass es sich beim Meteoriten um einen plessitischen Oktaedriten handelt, wobei fast alle Kamazit-Spindeln (gemessene Breite = 0,08 ± 0,03 mm, N = 30) einen aus Schreibersit bestehenden Kern aufweisen. In den meisten Spindeln weisen Kamazit und Schreibersit jeweils denselben einheitlichen Chemismus auf. Detailuntersuchungen mittels Elektronenstrahlmikrosonde zeigten, dass die Spindeln bereichsweise Verwachsungen von Schreibersit und Metall enthalten, die komplexe Gefüge und Chemismen aufweisen. Aufgrund des ermittelten Pauschalchemismus wurde STG 07009 als ungruppierter Eisenmeteorit klassifiziert. Dabei konnte keine chemische Verwandtschaft mit anderen ungruppierten Eisen festgestellt werden. Basierend auf der mittels Beschleuniger-Massenspektrometrie gemessenen kosmogenen Radionuklide ¹⁰Be, ²⁶Al, und ³⁶Cl wurde für STG 07009 ein kosmisches Bestrahlungsalter von 780 ± 100 Ma und ein relativ junges terrestrisches Alter von 75 ± 33 ka errechnet.
