I över hundra år har mesosideriterna förbryllat forskare, och många teorier har kommit och gått. Huvudfrågorna har varit: Hur blandades kärn- och skorpmaterial utan att inkorporera stora mängder mantelmaterial? Vilket scenario förklarar en snabb avkylning, följt av en extremt långsam avkylning? I detta examensarbete samlar jag forskningen kring mesosideriterna och diskuterar de olika teorierna. EnThe mesosiderites have puzzled researchers for over a hundred years, and many theories have come and gone. The main bones of contention have been: How did core and crust material mix without incorporating large amounts of mantle material?
