The Lithophile Element Budget of Earth's Core by B. A. Chidester, S. J. Lock, K. E. Swadba, Z. Rahman, K. Righter, A. J. Campbell

“…To match Earth's core mass and mantle composition, Earth's building blocks must have been enriched in Fe and depleted in Si compared with CI chondrites. Finally, too little Mg, Si, and O are partitioned into the core for precipitation of oxides to be a major source of energy for the geodynamo. …”

Vanadium and zinc isotope ratios in lunar basalts by Hopkins, S

“…Where published meteorite data is available, accounting for cosmogenic exposure shows no resolvable difference between the BSE, Mars, Moon, and chondrites, in contrast to earlier studies.</p> <p>Zinc displays a large isotopic range (~10‰) even amongst samples of the same lithological subtype, likely reflecting the volatile behaviour of zinc. …”

Resolving crystallisation ages of Archean mafic-ultramafic rocks using the Re-Os isotope system by Burton, K, Capmas, F, Birck, J, Allegre, C, Cohen, A

“…The initial 187Os/188Os isotope ratio of 0.10940 ± 0.00076 indicates that such material possessed a chondritic Os isotope composition, which suggests that these rocks were formed by direct melting of mantle material, consistent with major and trace element constraints on their formation. …”

The Characteristics and Tectonic Significance of Ordovician Siliceous Rocks in the Yushigou Area, North Qilian by LU Jing-yun, WANG Zhi-li, DU Li-ke, ZHANG Hong-yuan, XU Wei-jun, WANG Yuan-qun

“…The results show that the mean ratio of Al/(Al+Fe+Mn) is 0.56 and 0.60, Al/(Al+Fe) is 0.57 and 0.61, (La/Yb)SN is 0.89 and 1.2, δCeSN is 0.88 and 0.93 and δEuSN is 1.15 and 1.08, for samples collected from two sites at Yushigou, respectively. Chondritic Standardized REEs distribution plot is a LREEs enrichment pattern which shows an outstanding rightward decreasing tendency. …”

Observations, Meteorites, and Models: A Preflight Assessment of the Composition and Formation of (16) Psyche by Elkins-Tanton, LT, Asphaug, E, Bell, JF, Bercovici, H, Bills, B, Binzel, R, Bottke, WF, Dibb, S, Lawrence, DJ, Marchi, S, McCoy, TJ, Oran, R, Park, RS, Peplowski, PN, Polanskey, CA, Prettyman, TH, Russell, CT, Schaefer, L, Weiss, BP, Wieczorek, MA, Williams, DA, Zuber, MT

“…Though their density is similar, mesosiderites are an unlikely analog to bulk Psyche because mesosiderites have far more iron-rich silicates than Psyche appears to have. CB chondrites match both Psyche's density and spectral properties, as can some pallasites, although typical pallasitic olivine contains too much iron to be consistent with the reflectance spectra. …”

Evolution of the 3.65–2.58 Ga Mairi Gneiss Complex, Brazil: Implications for growth of the continental crust in the São Francisco Craton by Igor de Camargo Moreira, Elson Paiva Oliveira, Daniel Francisco Martins de Sousa

“…In the Eoarchean, rocks are probably formed by the interaction between the pre-existing crust and juvenile contribution from chondritic to weakly depleted mantle sources, whereas mantle depletion played a role in the Paleoarchean, followed by greater differentiation of the crust with thickening and recycling in the middle–late Paleoarchean. …”

A new cache of Eoarchaean detrital zircons from the Singhbhum craton, eastern India and constraints on early Earth geodynamics by Bulusu Sreenivas, Sukanta Dey, Y.J. Bhaskar Rao, T. Vijaya Kumar, E.V.S.S.K. Babu, Ian S. Williams

“…We observe a prominent shift in Hf isotope compositions at ∼3.6–3.5 Ga towards super-chondritic values, which signify an increased role for depleted mantle and the relevance of plate tectonics. …”

The unexpected surface of asteroid (101955) Bennu

“…Bennu is a low-albedo B-type asteroid that has been linked to organic-rich hydrated carbonaceous chondrites. Such meteorites are altered by ejection from their parent body and contaminated by atmospheric entry and terrestrial microbes. …”

The condensation temperatures of the elements: A reappraisal by Wood, B, Smythe, D, Harrison, T

“…Second, recent measurements of the halogen contents of CI chondrites (<a>Clay et al. 2017</a>) indicate that the solar system abundance of chlorine is significantly overestimated, and this affects the stabilities of gaseous complexes of many elements of interest. …”

Nb and Ta intracrustal differentiation during granulite-facies metamorphism: evidence from geochemical data of natural rocks and thermodynamic modeling by Huang, G, Chen, Y, Guo, J, Palin, R, Zhao, L

“…High-Temperature (HT) and ultrahigh-Temperature (UHT) granulite residues exhibit Nb/Ta ratios that are close to chondritic and subchondritic, respectively, whereas leucosomes from UHT granulite mostly have suprachondritic Nb/Ta. …”

Geochemical Conditions and Factors Controlling the Distribution of Major, Trace, and Rare Elements in Sul Hamed Granitic Rocks, Southeastern Desert, Egypt by Neveen S. Abed, Mohamed G. El Feky, Atef El-Taher, Ehab El Sayed Massoud, Mahmoud R. Khattab, Mohammed S. Alqahtani, El Sayed Yousef, Mohamed Y. Hanfi

“…This was confirmed by calculating the ratios of most isovalents that deviated from the chondritic ratio in many values. Variation diagrams of U and some trace elements illustrated that U had a weak positive correlation with Y and a strong positive correlation with gold, while it had weak to moderate negative correlation with Hf and Zr/U. …”
