Rare, metal micrometeorites from the Indian Ocean

“…Although they are released due to asteroidal collisions, they can only be collected in areas where large spatial and temporal domains need to be scanned as in the deep‐sea regions with very low sedimentation rates (Prasad et al. ). The metal micrometeorites described here occur only in specific meteorite subgroups and are not common; for example, awaruites are described among the metal nodules of oxidized CV chondrites (Haggerty and McMahon ; Rubin ), LL chondrites (Afiatalab and Wasson ; Rubin ), and also as an alteration product in iron meteorites (Pedersen ).…”
