Abstract We estimate the cosmic dust flux to Earth through the study of rare micrometeorites that preserve part of their precursor features during atmospheric entry heating, namely unmelted and scoriaceous subtypes. Combining high‐precision mass balance measurements, X‐ray computed microtomography and scanning electron microscopy, we studied mass, size

Key Points We recommend using the notation δ122/118SnNIST SRM 3161a for mass‐dependent Sn isotope data. We derived conversion factors relative to NIST SRM 3161a for Puri Sn CEZA (0.132 ± 0.011‰), Sn Lyon (0.229 ± 0.016‰), Sn IPGP (0.162 ± 0.018‰). Tin isotope compositions are presented for SPEX CertiPrep Sn and nine USGS reference materials.

Recent developments in isotope-ratio mass spectrometry for geochemistry and cosmochemistry [PDF]
Mass spectrometry is fundamental to measurements of isotope ratios for applications in isotope geochemistry, geochronology, and cosmochemistry. Magnetic-sector mass spectrometers are most common because these provide the best precision in isotope ratio ...

An unsupervised machine learning approach to iron meteorite classification
Abstract Iron meteorites are usually classified manually using bivariate elemental plots. This study extends iron meteorite classification into multi‐element space. We present a computational method for the classification of iron meteorites by applying unsupervised machine learning using density‐based cluster analysis.

Abstract Granitoid magmatism along the western Pacific margin records interactions between subduction dynamics and crust–mantle processes; however, the links between plate reorganization and magma‐source evolution remain debated. Here we integrate U–Pb zircon geochronology with Pb–Sr–Nd–Hf isotope systematics to investigate Cretaceous–Paleogene ...

Ryugu reference project: Recommendations from the measurement definition team
Abstract Sample return missions play a significant role in planetary science by providing pristine extraterrestrial materials. JAXA's Hayabusa2 and NASA's OSIRIS‐REx missions have returned samples from the C‐type asteroids Ryugu and Bennu, respectively. The chemical and mineralogical compositions of these samples closely resemble those of CI chondrites,

Non‐innocent solvents in meteorite extractions: Evidence for artifact formation
Abstract Solvent extraction is a cornerstone of meteoritic organic and inorganic chemistry, yet the assumption that common solvents act as chemically inert media is becoming increasingly untenable. This study reports that low‐molecular‐weight alcohols, particularly methanol and ethanol, are “non‐innocent” solvents when used to extract soluble sulfur ...

NanoSIMS: Technical Aspects and Applications in Cosmochemistry and Biological Geochemistry
The NanoSIMS ion probe is a new-generation SIMS instrument, characterised by superior spatial resolution, high sensitivity and multi-collection capability. Isotope studies of certain elements can be conducted with 50-100nm resolution, making the NanoSIMS
