Origin of Low-26Al/27Al Corundum/Hibonite Inclusions in Meteorites

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Most meteoritic calcium-rich, aluminum-rich inclusions formed from a reservoir with ^26 Al/ ^27 Al ≈ 5 × 10 ^−5 , but some record lower ${({}^{26}\mathrm{Al}/{}^{27}\mathrm{Al})}_{0}$ , demanding they sampled a reservoir without live ^26 Al.

Spatial and temporal variability of immature green turtle abundance and somatic growth in Puerto Rico

Endangered Species Research, 2014
Understanding conservation needs relies on robust estimates of key population parameters, such as survival, abundance and somatic growth. We investigated the somatic growth and abundance dynamics of 2 aggregations of immature green turtles, at Tortuga ...
