'''Abstract:''' On 18 February 2025, a bright fireball was observed over eastern Poland and recorded by the Skytinel fireball network.{{!Skytinel|}} Subsequent field searches led to the recovery of the [[Drelów]] meteorite, already classified as a&nbsp;L6 ordinary chondrite, with a&nbsp;shock stage of S3 and a&nbsp;terrestrial weathering grade of W0. The total recovered mass amounts to approximately 3900&nbsp;g. One specimen, independently found by the author, was selected for detailed petrographic, mineralogical and geochemical investigation. The meteorite is characterised by a&nbsp;predominance of a&nbsp;xenomorphic matrix with scarce relic chondrules, reflecting advanced thermal metamorphism. Numerous shock veins are present throughout the samples, locally filled with secondary Fe oxides and hydroxides. The fusion crust is porous and locally contains small spinel grains (<10&nbsp;μm). Optical microscopic observations combined with electron microprobe analyses indicate that the silicate assemblage is dominated by olivine and low-Ca pyroxene, accompanied by feldspar, Fe-Ni metal phases, troilite, chromite and accessory phosphates. Metallic phases include kamacite, taenite and tetrataenite, with average Ni and Co contents of ~5.9&nbsp;wt.%&nbsp;Ni and ~0.95&nbsp;wt.%&nbsp;Co in kamacite, ~28.9&nbsp;wt.%&nbsp;Ni and ~0.38&nbsp;wt.%&nbsp;Co in taenite, and ~50.7&nbsp;wt.%&nbsp;Ni and ~0.16&nbsp;wt.%&nbsp;Co in tetrataenite. Troilite is predominantly stoichiometric, contains trace amounts of Co (up to 0.08&nbsp;wt.%), and native copper was observed as an accessory phase. Mean silicate compositions correspond to Fo<sub>75</sub>Fa<sub>25</sub> in olivine and Wo<sub>1.6</sub>En<sub>77.5</sub>Fs<sub>20.9</sub> in pyroxene. Trace element concentrations were determined using LA-ICP-MS and are presented as chondrite-normalised spider diagrams for individual mineral phases, including olivine, pyroxene, feldspar, apatite and merrillite. Olivine and pyroxene preserve the most coherent primary geochemical signature, whereas phosphates represent the principal hosts of rare earth elements, with merrillite showing systematically higher REE abundances than apatite, because of its low-temperature origin. Comparison of chromite compositions from the sample with ophiolitic chromites normalised to MORB highlights elevated Ti and depleted Ni and Co contents in meteoritic chromites, reflecting preferential partitioning of Ni and Co into metallic phases in chondritic material. The combined microscopic observations and chemical analyses confirm the L6 (S3/W0) classification of the Drelów meteorite and demonstrate that a&nbsp;phase-selective analytical approach provides robust constraints on the distribution of trace elements and REE carriers, offering greater insight than whole-rock analyses.

Abstract: On 18 February 2025, a bright fireball was observed over eastern Poland and recorded by the Skytinel fireball network.[1] Subsequent field searches led to the recovery of the Drelów meteorite, already classified as a L6 ordinary chondrite, with a shock stage of S3 and a terrestrial weathering grade of W0. The total recovered mass amounts to approximately 3900 g. One specimen, independently found by the author, was selected for detailed petrographic, mineralogical and geochemical investigation. The meteorite is characterised by a predominance of a xenomorphic matrix with scarce relic chondrules, reflecting advanced thermal metamorphism. Numerous shock veins are present throughout the samples, locally filled with secondary Fe oxides and hydroxides. The fusion crust is porous and locally contains small spinel grains (<10 μm). Optical microscopic observations combined with electron microprobe analyses indicate that the silicate assemblage is dominated by olivine and low-Ca pyroxene, accompanied by feldspar, Fe-Ni metal phases, troilite, chromite and accessory phosphates. Metallic phases include kamacite, taenite and tetrataenite, with average Ni and Co contents of ~5.9 wt.% Ni and ~0.95 wt.% Co in kamacite, ~28.9 wt.% Ni and ~0.38 wt.% Co in taenite, and ~50.7 wt.% Ni and ~0.16 wt.% Co in tetrataenite. Troilite is predominantly stoichiometric, contains trace amounts of Co (up to 0.08 wt.%), and native copper was observed as an accessory phase. Mean silicate compositions correspond to Fo75Fa25 in olivine and Wo1.6En77.5Fs20.9 in pyroxene. Trace element concentrations were determined using LA-ICP-MS[2] and are presented as chondrite-normalised spider diagrams for individual mineral phases, including olivine, pyroxene, feldspar, apatite and merrillite. Olivine and pyroxene preserve the most coherent primary geochemical signature, whereas phosphates represent the principal hosts of rare earth elements, with merrillite showing systematically higher REE[3] abundances than apatite, because of its low-temperature origin. Comparison of chromite compositions from the sample with ophiolitic chromites normalised to MORB highlights elevated Ti and depleted Ni and Co contents in meteoritic chromites, reflecting preferential partitioning of Ni and Co into metallic phases in chondritic material. The combined microscopic observations and chemical analyses confirm the L6 (S3/W0) classification of the Drelów meteorite and demonstrate that a phase-selective analytical approach provides robust constraints on the distribution of trace elements and REE carriers, offering greater insight than whole-rock analyses.

  2. ^ LA-ICP-MS (ang. Laser Ablation Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry) – zaawansowana technika analityczna, która umożliwia precyzyjną analizę pierwiastkową i izotopową próbek stałych w mikroskali. Pozwala na mapowanie składu chemicznego bez konieczności rozpuszczania materiału. LA (ablacja laserowa) – laser o wysokiej energii odparowuje mikroskopijną ilość materiału bezpośrednio z powierzchni próbki w komorze w atmosferze gazu obojętnego; ICP (jonizacja) – powstały aerozol trafia do plazmy indukcyjnie sprzężonej (o temperaturze rzędu 7500K), gdzie cząsteczki ulegają atomizacji i jonizacji; MS (detekcja mas) – jony są następnie kierowane do spektrometru mas, gdzie są rozdzielane i mierzone na podstawie stosunku masy do liczby atomowej (m/Z). Wcześniejsza wersja tej metody (ICP-MS) opierała się na rozpuszczeniu próbki (do roztworu) i wprowadzeniu jej do bardzo gorącej plazmy argonowej. Zalety: bardzo wysoka czułość (często poziom ppb, a nawet ppt), jednoczesna analiza wielu pierwiastków, możliwość pomiaru stosunków izotopowych, niewielka ilość potrzebnej próbki. W meteorytyce metoda ICP-MS jest powszechnie stosowana do oznaczania: pierwiastków śladowych (np. ziem rzadkich), zawartości niklu, kobaltu, irydu i innych pierwiastków syderofilnych, anomalii izotopowych, wieku i pochodzenia materiału meteorytowego.

Rare Earth Elements) – grupa 17 chemicznie podobnych pierwiastków obejmująca 15 lantanowców (lantan, cer, prazeodym, neodym, promet, samar, europ, gadolin, terb, dysproz, holm, erb, tul, iterb i lutet) oraz skand i itr. Proporcje REE w meteorytach są ważnym wskaźnikiem typu meteorytów. Wikipedia – Metale ziem rzadkich
