RBT 04133: a new, unusual carbonaceous chondrite

, 2009
Introduction: The study of primitive carbonaceous chondrites is an important means of understanding the conditions of the early Solar System. We report new data on the Antarctic find RBT 04133, originally classified as a CR2 carbonaceous chondrite ...

Mn-53-Cr-53 Systematics of R-Chondrite NWA 753 [PDF]

, 2006
Chondrules and chondrites are interpreted as objects formed in the early solar system, and it is important to study them in order to elucidate its evolution.

Shape, Regolith Size and Thickness, SMFe0 Content, and Spectral Type of Tianwen-2 Target Asteroid (469219) Kamo‘oalewa

The Astrophysical Journal
China’s Tianwen-2 spacecraft was launched on 2025 May 29 and will arrive at the Earth quasi-satellite (469219) Kamo‘oalewa in 2026 July. We previously reported that Kamo‘oalewa develops an LL-chondrite-compositional, highly space-weathered surface. Here,

Refined Ordovician timescale reveals no link between asteroid breakup and biodiversification

Nature Communications, 2017
The high amount of L-type chondrites discovered in Ordovician sediments has previously been linked with the Great Ordovician Biodiversification Event. But here, Lindskoget al.

Distribution and rare earth element abundances of apatite in Bennu samples determined by synchrotron X‐ray fluorescence spectroscopy

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Apatite is often the most rare earth element (REE)‐enriched mineral in chondritic meteorites. REE enrichment and fractionation levels in apatite grains can give insight into the aqueous fluids in which they formed and the conditions prevailing within the host body. In this study, we applied synchrotron X‐ray fluorescence (SXRF) spectroscopy to

VUV and mid‐UV photoabsorption cross sections of thin films of glycine and alanine: Application to their photochemistry in the solar system

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
Thin solid films of pure glycine or alanine (thicknesses ranging from 10 to 700 nm) were prepared on MgF2 windows using a vacuum sublimation/recondensation method. VUV‐UV spectroscopy of these films enabled us to characterize new absorption cross sections for glycine and alanine for VUV‐UV radiations between 120 and 300 nm.

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 ...

Contourite erosional and depositional features of the Maastrichtian chalk on Jasmund peninsula (Rügen island, NE Germany)

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Seismic‐scale features such as deeply incised submarine valleys and mounded drifts together with ichnological features indicative of discontinuous sedimentation and erosional episodes have recently been documented from the Upper Cretaceous chalk in the southern Baltic Sea area.

Salt Range Formation of Pakistan Preserves Unique Record of Volcanic Fertilization During the Ediacaran Shuram Excursion

Terra Nova, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Thin, discontinuous, organic‐rich oil shale beds in the siliciclastic‐evaporitic Salt Range Formation (SRF) of Pakistan are of approximate Neoproterozoic to Cambrian age based on stratigraphic constraints. The beds are enriched (26–43 wt.% total organic carbon, TOC) in aliphatic organic matter (OM) of low thermal maturity despite their ...
