micrometeorites from the South Pole Water Well. U.S. Army Cold Regions Research
and Engineering Laboratory Report 97-1, 37 pp.Micrometeorites dated between 1100 A.D. to 1500 A.D. were collected from the bottom of the South Pole Water Well in December 1995. Element analyses of 181 cosmic glass spherule and micrometeorite samples are in ASCII text and Excel spreadsheet format. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) images of the spherules and micrometeorites are in TIFF format.
