Resumen:
Micrometeorites (MMs) are by far the most common extraterrestrial matter collected by the Earth that constitutes a class of its own with relationships to CM chondrites [1] and comets [2]. Recently, extensive studies of glasses in meteorites were rewarding and lead to the formulation of a new model of the formation of chondritic constituents and also nonchondritic meteoritic rocks [3-5]. As no such data existed for MMs, we started a study to fill this gap. Here we give a preliminary report on the results obtained on MMs collected from the Antarctic ice near Cap Prudhomme.
