Meteorites: Messengers from the Early Solar System [PDF]
CHIMIA, 2010 Meteorites are fragments from solar system bodies, dominantly asteroids. A small fraction is derived from the Moon and from Mars. These rocks tell a rich history of the early solar system and range from solids little changed since the earliest ...

The Osmium Isotope Signature of Phanerozoic Large Igneous Provinces
Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 229-246., 2021 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.

On the survivability and detectability of terrestrial meteorites on the moon [PDF]
, 2008 Materials blasted into space from the surface of early Earth may preserve a unique record of our planet's early surface environment. Armstrong et al. (2002) pointed out that such materials, in the form of terrestrial meteorites, may exist on the Moon and

Oxygen Isotopes and Volatiles in Martian Meteorite [PDF]
, 2013 Oxygen isotopes were measured in mineral separates from martian meteorites using laser fluorination and were found to be remarkably uniform in both δ18O and Δ17O, suggesting that martian magmas did not assimilate aqueously altered crust regardless of any

Collection of Yamato Meteorites, Antarctica, in December 1973
Antarctic Record, 1976 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

Switching ATP‐Forming Phosphoryl‐Transfer Chemistry With a Restricted Set of Amino Acids
Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.Constraints on amino acid composition relevant to prebiotic chemistry reshape enzyme chemistry by replacing the canonical mechanism within a conserved protein fold with a distinct ATP‐forming reaction, ADP disproportionation. Such constraints generate alternative catalytic solutions not observed in modern enzymes and point to chemically plausible early
