1. Many distorted fragments of meteoritic iron are later dredged up from the area where the wreckage fell.

2. The high nickel content of meteoritic iron emerged at about this time as an accepted indicator of nonterrestrial origin.

3. Their chemical and isotopic compositions are meteoritic and they have had long histories of flight through space.

4. Scientists think the glass was fused in a meteoritic impact 30 million years ago, making it rare and luminous enough to befit a king.

5. A mixture of meteoritic water and cometary water would not work either because this combination would still contain a higher concentration of deuterium than is found in the oceans.

6. The momentum of the particles was deduced from meteoritic velocities.

7. Were they meteoritic matter from space, reflected light from polar icebergs or a high-altitude version of lightning?

8. In addition, over 30 tons of meteoritic iron in small chunks covered the plain when Europeans first discovered the crater.

9. Why meteoritic oxygen isotope ratios are significantly different from those on Earth has mystified scientists for years.

10. From time to time Earth suffers bombardment from meteors and comets, and meteoritic impact has been a major planet-shaper and climate-modeller.

11. For centuries the Ensisheim fall remained the only case in which eyewitness reports of a fall were combined with preserved meteoritic material.

12. One class of asteroids found in that region has the reflection spectrum of meteoritic metal and is called the M class.

13. Carbon has two non-radioactive isotopes, and in material from the solar system, including most meteoritic minerals,() these are mixed in a well-known ratio.

14. Geochemical investigation reveals that the ore-forming fluids originated from the mixing of magmatic, formation and meteoritic water.
