Рentlandite from ordinary chondrites of the Urals [PDF]
Some new data on the chemical composition and morphology of the pentlandite from meteorites Ural (H5-6), Kunashak (L5-6), Ozernoye (L5), Severny Kolchim (H3), Kargapole (H4), and Chelyabinsk (LL5) are resulted in the paper. We found a natural decrease in

The noble gases in five ordinary chondrites from Grove Mountains in Antarctica [PDF]
Here we present the abundances and isotopic compositions of the noble gases He, Ne, Ar, Kr, and Xe in five bulk ordinary chondrites from Antarctica, namely Grove Mountains (GRV)054472, GRV053690, GRV022403, GRV023149, and GRV052243.

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.

Extended chronologies of aqueous alteration in the CM2 carbonaceous chondrites: evidence from carbonates in Queen Alexandra Range 93005 [PDF]
The Antarctic CM2 carbonaceous chondrite QUE 93005 contains four compositionally distinct carbonates, namely breunnerite, calcite, dolomite and a Ca-poor dolomite. These carbonates can form monomineralic grains, or may be intergrown as bimineralic grains

Pitted Terrain on Vesta and Implications for the Presence of Volatiles. [PDF]
We investigated the origin of unusual pitted terrain on asteroid Vesta, revealed in images from the Dawn spacecraft. Pitted terrain is characterized by irregular rimless depressions found in and around several impact craters, with a distinct morphology

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.

Trace phases in CI chondrites Alais and Orgueil [PDF]
Minor phases in meteorites are important indicators of parent-body processing conditions. For example, Kerridge and others (1, 2) have shown that the presence of sulphates and carbonates in CI chondrites provides evidence for aqueous alteration on the ...
