Research Abstract

Cosmic spherules are subspherical to spherical particles of <1 mm diameter which are produced by melting of interplanetary dust and large objects during atmospheric entry. Although cosmic spherules are known principally from the ice sheets of polar regions and Cenozoic deep-sea sediments, a few spherules older than Mesozoic were recovered from the sedimentary rocks of pelagic limestone and radiolarian chert. The cosmic spheres from these sedimentary rocks contain atmospheric oxygen, and their final oxidation state is determined by the past oxygen content of the atmosphere. Systematic studies of ancient cosmic spherules in the sedimentary rocks could detect long-term changes in the past oxygen partial pressure of the atmosphere.
