Mineralogy, mineral chemistry, and redox equilibria in ten aggregate particles from asteroid Bennu
Abstract Examination of 10 Bennu aggregate particles has revealed the presence of many phases which taken together can provide constraints on the oxygen fugacity (fO2) of Bennu samples. Phyllosilicates (saponite and serpentine), carbonates, oxides (magnetite, chromite), sulfides (pyrrhotite, pentlandite), phosphate (hydroxyapatite, Na‐Mg‐phosphate ...

Potassium isotopic compositions and exposure ages of evolved and silica‐rich achondrites
Abstract Some of the oldest igneous rocks in the Solar System include evolved and silica‐rich achondrites that originate from parent bodies less than 1000 km in diameter, referred to as planetesimals. While Earth was initially in a molten state and required continental crust formation and plate tectonics to generate andesite bulk compositions, evolved ...

Natural Resources and Political Patronage in Africa: An Ethnicity Level Analysis
ABSTRACT We investigate the effect of resource discoveries on ethnicity‐level political patronage in Africa using a large geospatial dataset of 254 ethnic groups in 15 countries over the period 1960–2004. We find that the first (or single first) resource discovery in a virgin ethnic homeland increases the share of cabinet posts of that ethnicity.

Experimental Phase Equilibria Study and Thermodynamic Modeling of the Na2O–SnO–SnO2–SiO2 System
ABSTRACT Integrated experimental and thermodynamic modeling study of the phase equilibria in the Na2O–SnO–SnO2–SiO2 system in air and in equilibrium with liquid metal has been undertaken for characterizing the thermochemistry of slag in smelting side streams enriched in Sn and optimizing the fuming process. New experimental phase equilibria data at 800°
