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.

The Prevailing Catalytic Role of Meteorites in Formamide Prebiotic Processes
Meteorites are consensually considered to be involved in the origin of life on this Planet for several functions and at different levels: (i) as providers of impact energy during their passage through the atmosphere; (ii) as agents of geodynamics ...

Collection of Yamato Meteorites, Antarctica, in December 1973
In addition to 9 meteorites, designated as Yamato meteorites, discovered in December 1969 at the SE end of the Yamato Mountains, East Antarctica, 12 stoney meteorites were found in December 1973 in nearly the same area by the traverse glaciology party of

Molecular Asymmetry in Prebiotic Chemistry: An Account from Meteorites
Carbonaceous Chondrite (CC) meteorites are fragments of asteroids, solar planetesimals that never became large enough to separate matter by their density, like terrestrial planets.

All DNA/RNA nucleobases were identified in carbonaceous meteorites. Having been provided to the early Earth as a component in carbonaceous meteorites, these molecules might have played a role for the emergence of genetic functions in early life.

The Origin and Physico-Chemical Properties of Some Unusual Earth Rock Fragments
In this paper, several researches were undertaken related to a violent phenomenon, characterized by a sonic boom, felt on an area of at least 500 km2, shortly followed by the fall of rock fragments that were then recovered from the ground.
