Awesome to see JWST doing such great 🔭 work in the outer Solar System! Phyllosilicates on small Neptune moons!! Whodathunkit?
My new paper is out in Science Advances! Neptune's inner moons preserve clay minerals from the deep interiors of ancient icy worlds, exposed by Triton's catastrophic arrival. Here's the story and what it tells us about the violent history of the Neptunian system. 🧵

Neptune’s inner moons and rings are exposed icy body interiors
Triton’s destructive wake exposed clay-like minerals from within ancient icy worlds, now reaccreted as Neptune’s inner moons.

The moons and rings contain special clays: magnesium-rich phyllosilicates.
They only form with prolonged liquid water.
Never detected beyond Jupiter before.
Absolute first.

The phyllosilicates closely match those on Ceres and the most altered carbonaceous chondrites that fall to Earth.
Same chemical “processing,” billions of kilometres away.

An exciting find at Krokodillen: phyllosilicates
These minerals primarily form by extensive interactions between basaltic rocks and liquid water. They are excellent at preserving organic materials, if present, by adsorbing them or encapsulating them within their mineral structure.
