Mass fractionation laws, mass-independent effects, and isotopic anomalies
Isotopic variations usually follow mass-dependent fractionation, meaning that the relative
variations in isotopic ratios scale with the difference in mass of the isotopes involved (eg …

Age of Jupiter inferred from the distinct genetics and formation times of meteorites
The age of Jupiter, the largest planet in our Solar System, is still unknown. Gas-giant planet
formation likely involved the growth of large solid cores, followed by the accumulation of gas …

Origin of the non-carbonaceous–carbonaceous meteorite dichotomy
The isotopic composition of meteorites reveals a fundamental dichotomy between non-
carbonaceous (NC) and carbonaceous (CC) meteorites. However, the origin of this …

The origin of s-process isotope heterogeneity in the solar protoplanetary disk
Rocky asteroids and planets display nucleosynthetic isotope variations that are attributed to
the heterogeneous distribution of stardust from different stellar sources in the solar …

740 Ma vase-shaped microfossils from Yukon, Canada: Implications for Neoproterozoic chronology and biostratigraphy
Biostratigraphy underpins the Phanerozoic time scale, but its application to pre-Ediacaran
strata has remained limited because Proterozoic taxa commonly have long or unknown …
