Major advances in deciphering the record of nebula processes in chondrites can be
attributed to analytical improvements that allow coordinated isotopic and mineralogical …

We provide detailed background, theoretical and practical, on the specific heat of minerals
and mixtures thereof,'astro-materials,'as well as background information on common …

We present a comprehensive evolutionary model of the Sun's protoplanetary disk,
constructed to resolve the" CAI storage problem" of meteoritics. We predict the abundances …

The precise knowledge of the initial 26Al/27Al ratio [(26Al/27Al) 0] is crucial if we are to use
the very first solid objects formed in our Solar System, calcium–aluminum-rich inclusions …

This book is a welcome introduction and reference for users and innovators in
geochronology. It provides modern perspectives on the current state-of-the art in most of the …

The Hadean Eon, encompassing Earth9s first 550 million years, was a time of significant
planetary evolution. Nevertheless, prebiotic Earth9s near-surface environment may have …

1. INTRODUCTION may be that much of the early solar nebula consisted of completely
vaporized primordial material (> 1800 K) that cooled monotonically (Cameron, 1963; Kurat …

Chondrules from different chondrite groups show characteristic properties, including
abundances of different chondrule textural types, chondrule sizes, oxygen isotope …

We review the oxygen isotopic compositions of chondrite components (refractory inclusions,
chondrules, and matrix) and their inter-and intra-crystalline oxygen isotopic distributions …

Recent whole-rock magnesium-isotopic data for calcium-aluminum-rich inclusions (CAIs) in
chondrite meteorites indicate that the primary nebular fractionation of aluminum from …
