Dating and Tracing the Origin of Enstatite Chondrite Chondrules with Cr Isotopes [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2020 Chondrules are major components of chondrites and are believed to drive the accretion of planetary embryos. As such, constraining the timing and origin of chondrules is central for understanding the early evolution of the solar system and the formation ...

Reduced and unstratified crust in CV chondrite parent body
Nature Communications, 2017 Meteorites may unlock the history of the early solar system. Here, the authors find, through Ca-Fe-rich secondary phases, that the distinction between reduced and oxidized CV chondrites is invalid; therefore, CV3 chondrites are asteroid fragments that ...

The Winchcombe meteorite—A regolith breccia from a rubble pile CM chondrite asteroid
Meteoritics & Planetary Science, 2022 The Winchcombe meteorite is a CM chondrite breccia composed of eight distinct lithological units plus a cataclastic matrix. The degree of aqueous alteration varies between intensely altered CM2.0 and moderately altered CM2.6.

Earth’s water may have been inherited from material similar to enstatite chondrite meteorites
Science, 2020 An unexpected source of Earth's water The abundances of Earth's chemical elements and their isotopic ratios can indicate which materials formed Earth. Enstatite chondrite (EC) meteorites provide a good isotopic match for many elements but are expected to

Thermal history modelling of the L chondrite parent body [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2019 Context.The cooling history of individual meteorites can be reconstructed if closure temperatures and closure ages of different radioisotopic chronometers are available for a couple of meteorites.

Meteoritics and Planetary Science, 2020 CM chondrites are complex impact (mostly regolith) breccias, in which lithic clasts show various degrees of aqueous alteration. Here, we investigated the degree of alteration of individual clasts within 19 different CM chondrites and CM‐like clasts in ...

Abundant extraterrestrial amino acids in the primitive CM carbonaceous chondrite Asuka 12236
Meteoritics and Planetary Science, 2020 The Asuka (A)‐12236 meteorite has recently been classified as a CM carbonaceous chondrite of petrologic type 3.0/2.9 and is among the most primitive CM meteorites studied to date.

The role of Bells in the continuous accretion between the CM and CR chondrite reservoirs
Meteoritics and Planetary Science, 2020 CM meteorites are dominant members of carbonaceous chondrites (CCs), which evidently accreted in a region separated from the terrestrial planets. These chondrites are key in determining the accretion regions of solar system materials, since in Mg and Cr ...

The Piancaldoli meteorite: A forgotten primitive LL3.10 ordinary chondrite
Meteoritics and Planetary Science, 2020 The Piancaldoli ordinary chondrite fell in northern Italy on August 10, 1968. Preliminary studies led to its classification as an LL3.4 unequilibrated ordinary chondrite.
