The lithium isotope system is increasingly being applied to a variety of Earth science studies,
as the burgeoning literature attests; over 180 papers have been published in the last twelve …

The highly siderophile elements (HSE: Os, Ir, Ru, Rh, Pt, Pd, Re, Au) are key tracers of
planetary accretion and differentiation processes due to their affinity for metal relative to …

Martian meteorites are the only direct samples from Mars, thus far. Currently, there are a total
of 262 individual samples originating from at least 11 ejection events. Geochemical …

The ChemCam instrument package on the Mars rover, Curiosity, provides new capabilities
to probe the abundances of certain trace elements in the rocks and soils on Mars using the …

Over the past decade, our knowledge of the geochemical and mineralogical diversity of
Martian rocks has greatly increased. Rocks on the surface of Mars are older than most …

Gabbroic and microgabbroic shergottites are intrusive igneous rocks on Mars and exhibit a
wide variety of mineralogical and geochemical properties. However, their source reservoirs …

Mars is considered to have formed as a planetary embryo that experienced extensive
differentiation early in its history. Shergottite meteorites preserve evidence for this history …

Poikilitic shergottites make up> 20% of the current martian meteorite collection, with a total of
27 samples. These meteorites are intrusive gabbroic to lherzolitic rocks and represent …

Oxygen is the dominant element in our planetary system. It is therefore remarkable that it
shows substantial isotopic diversity both in mass-dependent fractionation, because it is a …

Martian meteorites are the only available samples that can be directly measured to constrain
the geological evolution of Mars. It has been suggested that the oxygen fugacity (fO 2) of …
