Zircon ages in granulite facies rocks: decoupling from geochemistry above 850 °C? [PDF]
Granulite facies rocks frequently show a large spread in their zircon ages, the interpretation of which raises questions: Has the isotopic system been disturbed? By what process(es) and conditions did the alteration occur?

MICROINCLUSIONS OF PGM MINERALS IN ANCIENT GOLD PRODUCTS: OCCURRENCE, COMPOSITION, ALTERATION [PDF]
The PGM microinclusions in ancient gold products from the Urals, Siberia, Azov region and Turkmenistan are compared with similar inclusions from the Middle East artifacts. Microinclusions were found in the archaeological sites, which are located close to

Mineralogical Characterization of Baptistina Asteroid Family: Implications for K/T Impactor Source
Bottke et al. (2007) linked the catastrophic formation of Baptistina Asteroid Family (BAF) to the K/T impact event. This linkage was based on dynamical and compositional evidence, which suggested the impactor had a composition similar to CM2 carbonaceous
