Although sulfides are important reservoirs for a diverse suite of major and trace elements, it is currently unclear whether the interiors of asteroid Vesta and the Angrite Parent Body were sulfide ...

Chondrules are the main components of primitive meteorites and possibly the building blocks of planetary embryos and terrestrial planets. However, their ages and modes of formation are still highly ...

The sources of Earth’s volatile elements remain unclear. For many elements, the distinct isotope anomalies of inner and outer solar system materials constrain the provenance of the terrestrial ...

Scientists have suggested previously that an angrite parent body may be a remnant from an early planetary embryo.

A micro-analytical approach to partition coefficients in plagioclase and clinopyroxene of basaltic sills in Serra Geral Formation, Paraná Basin, Brazil Uma abordagem microanalítica dos coeficientes de ...

Core segregation and atmosphere formation are two of the major processes that redistribute the volatile elements—hydrogen (H), carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and sulfur (S)—in and around rocky planets ...

One of the oldest meteorites ever discovered, the 4.6 billion-year-old Erg Chech 002 discovered in the Sahara desert in 2020, could reveal vital information about the formation of the solar system.

In one of the startling discoveries it has been pointed out that water did not actually originate on Earth but was brought down to it by meteorites. It is ...

The angrite parent body (APB) likely experienced a global-scale melting event, forming a magma ocean, as evidenced by the homogeneous oxygen isotopic compositions and 54 Cr/ 52 Cr ratios measured in ...

Rare ancient meteorites have provided “ground-breaking insight” on how Jupiter formed and settled in its position as the fifth planet from the sun billions of years ago, according to scientists. The ...
