Jessica Kaminski Annotated Bibliography Burke, John G. Cosmic Debris, Meteorites in History.

Berkeley/Los Angeles, CA: University of California P, 1986. This book deals with planetary and asteroidal origins. It discusses the meteorites in general and also their specific place in science. The relevance of this source to our project is its information on the dating of meteorites and the means by which we can date them. Cooper Jr., Henry S.F. Moon Rocks. New York, NY: The Dial P, 1970. Cooper discusses how moon rocks were handled back on Earth after the Apollo 11 mission to the moon. It talked about the process of collecting and analyzing moon rock effectively and how the P.E.T. teams in Houston handled this process. Hartmann, W.K., R.J. Phillips, and G.J. Taylor, eds. Origin of the Moon. Houston, TX: Lunar & Planetary Institution, 1984. These authors goes through how the moon came to be and what makes it special. The initial part compares the composition of the Earth and the Moon. Later it discusses the moon specifically and how impactors affect its terrain. It also discusses many other aspects of lunar science, however it has little relevance to this project. Herzog, R.F.K., W.P. Poschenrieder, and F.G. Satkiewicz. Mass Spectrometer Analysis of Solid Material with the Ion-Microprobe Sputter Source. United States. National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Vol. NASA. CR-683. Bedford, MA: GCA Corporation, 1967. This article addresses NASAs use of mass spectrometers in geological research. It mainly discusses the new advancement to a new (at the time) spectrometer making data analysis more accurate as well as letting previously un-analyzable data analyzable. Landel, Robert F., and Alan Rembaum, eds. Chemistry in Space Research. New York, NY: American Elsevier Publlishing Company, Inc., 1972. This book is a foundation for the use of chemistry in space. While most of it is on propellants and chemical use in the actual process of getting to space, a decent part of the book talks about the chemical compostition of meteorites and age dating through chemical composition. Mason, Brian, and William G. Melson. The Lunar Rocks. New York, NY: Wiley-Interscience, 1970. Mason and Melson lay a great foundation for the geology of the moon. It addresses everything from mineralogy, lunar petrology, and geochemistry. After discussing each of these aspects it delves into its use in studying lunar history and how we view the moon. Marvin, Ursula B., and David Walker. "Implications of a titanium-rich glass clod at Oceanus Procellarum." American Minerologist 63 (1978): 924-29. While this article does not discuss quite the work we plan on doing, Marvin discusses how she will go about analyzing samples. Like our experiment, she needs to identify the composition of particles. Muller, Richard A. Cratering Rates from Lunar Spherules. United States. United States Department of Energy. Lawrence Berkley National Laboratory. Vol. LBL-34168. 1993. Berkeley Lab. 05 May 1993. Lawrence Berkley National Laboratory. 19 Sept. 2008 <http://muller.lbl.gov/papers/cr%20%20lunar%20spherules%20lbl-341.pdf>. Muller outlines his experimental plan with lunar spherules for NASA and others that are interested. He discusses his plan of attack for separating samples, selecting the best ones,

and the actual analysis of the sample. His work is done on spherules from the Apollo missions. It is important to note he argues he can run effective experiments with only one gram of soil. Runcorn, S.K., ed. The Physics of the Planets. New York, NY: John Wiley & Sons, 1988. Runcorn focuses this book on the structure and make up of various planets. An important and interesting part of this book involves the comparison of impact melts of spherules from Mercury to those on the Moon. It also discusses solid-solid collisions, mostly in the form of planetary collisions but also smaller, meteorite and asteroid impacts. Throck Watson, J. Introduction to Mass Spectrometry. Philadelphia, PA: Lippincott-Raven, 1997.
Throck introduces mass spectrometrys place in the biological sciences. While this has less to do with our project, his chapter introducing the various types of mass spectrometers is very useful. He clearly defines how we can use mass spectrometry to do a variety of things and various techniques to use for different purposes.
