Noble gases and nitrogen in material from asteroid Bennu
Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.Abstract We report the elemental and isotopic abundances of all stable noble gases (helium, neon, argon, krypton, and xenon) in eight particles from asteroid Bennu returned by NASA's OSIRIS‐REx mission. We also report nitrogen abundances and isotopic ratios that were analyzed alongside neon and argon in four additional Bennu particles.

Trace element geochemistry of ordinary chondrite chondrules: the type I/type II chondrule dichotomy [PDF]
, 2015 We report trace element concentrations of silicate phases in chondrules from LL3 ordinary chondrites Bishunpur and Semarkona. Results are similar to previously reported data for carbonaceous chondrites, with rare earth element (REE) concentrations ...

Microspherules Formed by Lightning Strikes
Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.Abstract Natural microspherules are formed by high‐temperature processes and are present throughout the geologic record to the present day. We report the discovery of large numbers of microspherules recovered from a rock pavement in the Pilbara region, Western Australia.

Trace element geochemistry of peridotites from the Izu-Bonin-Mariana Forearc, Leg 125
, 1992 Trace element analyses (first-series transition elements, Ti, Rb, Sr, Zr, Y, Nb, and REE) were carried out on whole rocks and minerals from 10 peridotite samples from both Conical Seamount in the Mariana forearc and Torishima Forearc Seamount in the Izu ...

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.Abstract The Tvären structure in southeastern Sweden has been listed as a confirmed marine‐target impact structure for decades. However, to date, no measurements and/or indexed data of planar deformation features in quartz grains from the structure have been published or any other unequivocal evidence of impact.

In situ single‐spot Rb/Sr cosmochronology of roedderite in the Ribbeck aubrite (asteroid 2024 BX1)
Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.Abstract The mineralogy and textures of several fragments from the Ribbeck aubrite were analyzed using a combination of scanning electron microscopy, electron microprobe analysis, μRaman spectroscopy, and laser ablation inductively coupled reaction cell mass spectrometry (LA‐ICP‐MS/MS).
