Title: Micro-Raman, FTIR, SEM-EDX and structural analysis of the Canakkale meteorite.
Authors: Unsalan O, Yilmaz A, Bolukbasi O, Ozturk B, Esenoglu HH, Ildiz GO, Ornek CY

This study demonstrates for the first time, the spectroscopic characterisation of Canakkale Meteorite that fell at Canakkale, Republic of Turkey (40°8'44"N; 26°24'23"E). The olivine group [(Mg, Fe)(2)SiO(4)], enstatite [Mg(2)Si(2)O(6)] (one of the orthopyroxene minerals) and plagioclase were identified by the micro-Raman and FTIR spectroscopies and EDX-SEM analyses. This meteorite has not yet been classified in the World's Database of Meteorites. The aim of this study is to investigate this meteorite by vibrational spectroscopic techniques and open the possibility to classify it and list in the World's Database of Meteorites.
