The message of oldhamites from enstatite chondrites [PDF]
We have determined rare-earth element (REE) abundances in oldhamites (CaS) from 13 unequilibrated and equilibrated enstatite chondrites (5 EH and 8 EL) and in a few enstatites by in situ, laser ablation ICP-MS.

Early planetesimal differentiation and late accretion shaped Earth’s nitrogen budget [PDF]
The relative roles of protoplanetary differentiation versus late accretion in establishing Earth’s life-essential volatile element inventory are being hotly debated.

The integral enstatite chondrite model of the Earth
The only primitive meteorites that match satisfactorily both the stable isotope and redox characteristics of the Earth are the Enstatite chondrites. I present an integral Enstatite chondrite model in which the Earth is built from essentially pure EH material, which is justified by the above similarities and by the fact that most elements in these ...

An Almahata Sitta EL3 fragment: implications for the complex thermal history of enstatite chondrites
Almahata Sitta is a polymict breccia, consisting of many kinds of clasts. Here we present our mineralogical and petrological results on an EL3 fragment, MS-177 from Almahata Sitta.

Volcanic scoriae from the southern part of the Cameroon Volcanic Line (Limbé, Loum-Tombel, Yamba, Doupé, Njinkouo, Foumbot, Manjo-manengollé, Galim and Djoungo) were investigated in order to determine their chemical and mineralogical composition, to ...

I–Xe ages of enstatite chondrites [PDF]
Abstract In order to elucidate the early thermal history of enstatite chondrite parent bodies we determined 129I–129Xe whole rock ages of enstatite chondrites (5 EH, 2 EL, one EH impact melt) relative to the Shallowater reference meteorite (4562.3 ± 0.4 Ma, all errors are 1σ).

Evolution of a Water-rich Atmosphere Formed by a Giant Impact on an Earth-sized Planet
The atmosphere of a terrestrial planet that is replenished with secondary gases should have accumulated hydrogen-rich gas from its protoplanetary disk.

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 ...
