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 ...

Composite Phymatoderma from Neogene deep-marine deposits in Japan: Implications for Phanerozoic benthic interactions between burrows and the trace-makers of Chondrites and Phycosiphon [PDF]
Among composite trace fossils, one of the most common structures throughout the Phanerozoic are structures (e.g., dwelling trace, feeding trace) reworked by Chondrites and/or Phycosiphon.

Possible Ribose Synthesis in Carbonaceous Planetesimals
The origin of life might be sparked by the polymerization of the first RNA molecules in Darwinian ponds during wet-dry cycles. The key life-building block ribose was found in carbonaceous chondrites.

Hydrogen Isotopic Composition of Hydrous Minerals in Asteroid Ryugu
Rock fragments of the Cb-type asteroid Ryugu returned to Earth by the JAXA Hayabusa2 mission share mineralogical, chemical, and isotopic properties with the Ivuna-type (CI) carbonaceous chondrites.

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 ...

A dual origin for water in carbonaceous asteroids revealed by CM chondrites [PDF]
Carbonaceous asteroids represent the principal source of water in the inner Solar System and might correspond to the main contributors for the delivery of water to Earth.

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.

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.
