Chemical, isotopic (O, He, U), and petrological characteristics of a slowly cooled enriched gabbroic shergottite, Northwest Africa 13134

Journal Article Meteoritics and Planetary Science · May 1, 2025 Northwest Africa 13134 is a coarse-grained gabbro with an oxygen isotopic composition consistent with a Martian origin and is classified as an enriched shergottite based on its bulk trace element abundances and bulk La/Yb ratio of 1.53. The meteorite is co ... Full text Cite

Garnet clinopyroxenite formation via amphibole-dehydration in continental arcs: Evidence from Fe isotopes

Journal Article Earth and Planetary Science Letters · December 15, 2024 Lower-crustal garnet clinopyroxenite (sometimes termed “arclogite”) fractionation in thick-crustal (>35 km) arc settings presents a compelling model to explain Fe-depletion trends, high oxygen fugacity, and evidence of recent delamination observed in many ...

Magnitude and timescales of Ca isotope variability in human urine: implications for bone mass balance monitoring.

Journal Article Metallomics : integrated biometal science · November 2024 Calcium (Ca) isotopes in blood/urine are emerging biomarkers of bone mineral balance (BMB) in the human body. While multiple studies have investigated Ca isotopes in patients suffering from diseases affecting BMB, comparatively little effort has been devot ... Full text Cite
