It would have been a curious sight, as the oceans were probably green in color from iron-rich deep waters.” When the S2 meteorite hit, global chaos ensued — but the impact also stirred up ...

The collision likely stirred up iron from the deep ocean into shallow waters, while phosphorus was delivered both by the meteorite itself and through increased weathering and erosion on land.

and the closest analogue we have are iron meteorites. So it made sense to name a mineral after her and recognise her contributions to science," said Prof Chris Herd who curates the University of ...

Microbes in the deep ocean as well as any microbes that could tolerate extreme high temperatures would have been less impacted by the meteorite. The impact also released an abundance of phosphorus ...

The scientists suggest iron was likely stirred up from the deep ocean into shallow waters by the tsunami, and phosphorus was brought to the planet by the meteorite itself and from an increase of ...

This composition is rare, as terrestrial iron items usually contain up to 4 percent nickel. However, such proportions are quite common in meteorites that fall to Earth. This cosmic iron was used ...
