Carbon Speciation and Solubility in Silicate Melts
This book is Open Access. A digital copy can be downloaded for free from Wiley Online Library.
Explores the behavior of carbon in minerals, melts, and fluids under extreme conditions
Carbon trapped in diamonds and carbonate-bearing rocks in subduction zones are examples of the continuing exchange of substantial carbon ...

The Osmium Isotope Signature of Phanerozoic Large Igneous Provinces
Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Enstatite chondrites are a small clan of meteorites, only ~ 1% out of all meteorite collection. However, they are the most reduced meteorites and have almost identical isotopic compositions to those of the Earth, suggestive of significant contributions ...

Iron Isotope Constraints on the Structure of the Early Solar System
The recent advent of nontraditional isotopic systems has revealed that meteorites display a fundamental isotopic dichotomy between noncarbonaceous (NC) and carbonaceous (C) groups, which represent material from the inner and outer solar system ...

Igneous Rim Accretion on Chondrules in Low-velocity Shock Waves
Shock-wave heating is a leading candidate for the mechanisms of chondrule formation. This mechanism forms chondrules when the shock velocity is in a certain range.

The Okhansk Meteorite: Specifics of Composition, Structure, and Genesis [PDF]
The Okhansk meteorite fell on August 18, 1887 near the village of Tabor, about 15 km away from the town of Okhansk in Perm province and weighed 186.5 kg (the total weight of collected fragments, according to P.I. Krotov, was more than 245 kg).

Stellar Outbursts and Chondrite Composition
The temperatures of observed protoplanetary disks are not sufficiently high to produce the accretion rate needed to form stars, nor are they sufficient to explain the volatile depletion patterns in CM, CO, and CV chondrites and terrestrial planets.

Clays and the Origin of Life: The Experiments
There are three groups of scientists dominating the search for the origin of life: the organic chemists (the Soup), the molecular biologists (RNA world), and the inorganic chemists (metabolism and transient-state metal ions), all of which have ...

Reduced and unstratified crust in CV chondrite parent body
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 ...

Because of their numerical dominance among meteorite falls, their great age, and their primitive (i.e., quasisolar) compositions, the chondrites are central to discussions of the origin and early history of the solar system. The bibliography includes most American contributions m this field from 1967 to 1970, and this report attempts to summarize our ...
